Topped with green onions, and melted cheese, it’s an irresistible dish perfect for any family gathering or cozy dinner.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 pound bacon
  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup gruyere cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 4 ounces unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, crushed
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 1 bunch green onions, sliced for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the potatoes in a small stockpot and cover with water.  Turn heat to medium and maintain a light simmer until potatoes are fork tender, about 1 hour.  When done cooking, remove from water and set aside to cool. (If you prefer to bake the potatoes, see note #1 below).
  2. While the potatoes are cooking, bring a saucepan of water to a rolling boil.  Using a slotted spoon, lower the eggs into the boiling water.  Boil the eggs until cooked, about 12 minutes for large eggs.  When done cooking, shock the eggs in ice-cold water to make it easier to peel.  Then peel and slice using an egg slicer.
  3. Remove the bacon from the package and slice crosswise into approximately 1/2 inch slices.  Then place the sliced bacon into a hot cast iron skillet (can substitute any skillet) and fry until crisp and golden brown.  About 8-12 minutes.  When done cooking, remove cooked bacon and place on paper towel to capture fat drippings.  Set aside to cool.
  4. Using a VERY sharp utility knife, slice the potatoes into 1/4 slices.  Place slices into a large mixing bowl.
  5. Slice the butter into 1/4 slices and place into the mixing bowl with the potatoes.
  6. Add the bacon, egg slices, sour cream, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, feta cheese, gruyere cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic, and butter.  Stir to combine.  Taste and season your preference.
  7. Place the mixture into a 13 x 9 casserole dish sprayed with a non-stick spray.
  8. Cook in a preheated 350°F oven for 1 hour or until cheese is bubbly and top is golden brown.
  9. Top with sliced green onion and serve immediately.

Notes

#1 – To bake the potatoes, prick them all over with a fork then place into a preheated 375°F oven until fork tender, approximately 1 hour.  Remove from oven and allow to cool.  When cool enough to handle, cut an opening into the top of the potato and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl.  Discard the empty shells.
