This hearty and flavorful potato loaf is stuffed with creamy mashed potatoes, savory bacon, and crumbled sausage—everything you love in one delicious dish! Perfect for a filling meal or as a side to any main course.
Ingredients:
4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 lb bacon, chopped
1/2 lb breakfast sausage (or Italian sausage), crumbled
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup milk
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
Cook the Potatoes:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.
Cook the Bacon and Sausage:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
In the same skillet, cook the sausage and onion until the sausage is browned and the onions are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Mash the Potatoes:
Return the cooked potatoes to the pot or a large bowl. Add the butter, milk, and sour cream. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine the Filling:
Stir the cheddar cheese, bacon, and sausage mixture into the mashed potatoes. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Assemble the Loaf:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the potato mixture into a greased loaf pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
Add Breadcrumbs (Optional):
If using breadcrumbs, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the potato loaf for a crispy finish.
Bake:
Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
Garnish and Serve:
Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Enjoy!
This Bacon and Sausage-Stuffed Potato Loaf is a comforting and satisfying dish that will please everyone at the table. Serve it alongside vegetables, a fresh salad, or your favorite main course for a complete meal. 😋🥔
