A mashed potato casserole is a perfect addition to any dinner – great for parties too. You can make potato stacks, potato wedges with delicious dip or scalloped potatoes – endless possibilities.

My mashed potato casserole is prepared in an easy way. I had leftover potatoes from yesterday and I decided to do something different with them. Instead of just reusing them or making gnocchi (that I always make) I prepared them with cheese, bacon and dill.

First, I made layers in my deep dish. On the bottom of the dish, I put mashed potatoes, then the Colby-Jack cheese and topped with cooked bacon. I also sprinkled the top with dill. Bake in the oven for about 20 – 30 minutes and my tasty dinner was done…they didn’t last long!
