Ingredients
  

  • 6 large russet potatoes
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked and chopped turkey ham divided
  • 1/4 cup diced green onions

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a 9×13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized pieces and transfer them to a large pot.
  • Cover the potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender and can easily be pierced with a fork.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the warm pot.
  • Gently fold in the butter, cream cheese, sour cream, and milk until the potatoes are creamy while still retaining some texture.
  • Add the garlic powder, salt, black pepper, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, and 1 cup of chopped turkey ham. Gently mix until evenly combined.
  • Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread it into an even layer.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup turkey ham evenly over the top.
  • Bake the Loaded Baked Potato Casserole for 25–30 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese on top is completely melted.
  • Remove the casserole from the oven. Sprinkle with diced green onions and serve warm.

Notes

Whole milk gives this creamy potato casserole a rich consistency, but another unsweetened milk of your choice can be used if needed.
