Seriously though....this dish is on everyone's list. Every time we are invited over to a friend's house, or when we are hosting, I always ask what do I need to bring, ( that's the polite thing to do,) or ask our guests for any special requests, ( also a poet and didn't know it.) The dish that keeps them coming back, and for us to keep being invited over has many names. Special potatoes, Mir's potatoes, THOSE potatoes, but I personally call them Twice Baked Potato Casserole. As usual, these are so easy to make, and jammed packed with lots of flavor and goodness! For this time, we were invited over to our friends house for an early Christmas get together before we all scatter to the wind for the holiday. Our friend made a beautiful and tasty pulled pork shoulder, and I brought the potatoes. Earlier that day we were in my hometown for my granny's "Thanksmas" party. So I knew that I wouldn't have a lot of time for the preparation of the casserole. Luckily my mom came in clutch and had some mashed potatoes left over that I so graciously took with me to save some time! Thank you mom!! Usually, I would peel, cut, and boil 4 large russet potatoes, and then mash them and add in my milk and butter to make smooth. Since I took a shortcut, all I added at this time was my cheese, sour cream, bacon bits, cream cheese, seasonings, and green onions. Mix it up well and pour into a greased 13x9 baking dish. Then sprinkle remaining cheese, bacon bits, and green onions on top. Bake for about 20-30 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
