Rich N’ Creamy Potato Casserole Recipe

Rich N’ Creamy Potato Casserole Recipe

Guess what guys? With this post, I’m completing my first recipe request by my readers… the delicious Rich N’ Creamy Potato Casserole Recipe. I really wanted to post these potatoes before Thanksgiving sometime, because what kind of a Thanksgiving dinner is it without having a potato casserole on the table? The timing is perfect.

This Rich N’ Creamy Potato Casserole will be a pleasant surprise at your Thanksgiving dinner table. These creamy potatoes are very much loved not only by children, but adults too. Leftovers reheat well and are good afterwards.

After I made these potatoes for the blog, I had to fulfill another sweet little request by my children to make them again this week because they enjoy them every time.

This is one of my favorite versions of creamy oven-baked potatoes. The other version has mushrooms and is prepared a little different. I will share the second version with you all a bit later. I hope all of you enjoy this Rich N’ Creamy Potato Casserole as much as we do! 🙂

Ingredients you will need:
10 lbs. – Yellow potatoes
1 ½ tbsp. – salt
Ingredients for Creamy Mixture:
1 lb. – carrots
2 medium – onions
3 – 4 large – garlic cloves
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. – vegeta
1 tsp. – Mrs. Dash
¾ tbsp. – salt (or to taste)
¼ tbsp. – black ground pepper (or to taste)
½ gallon – Half & Half

3. While potatoes are cooking prepare the creamy mixture. Peel and grate carrots. Place carrots in a pan and add olive oil. Add pureed onion (you may mince your onion instead, I do it this way because I don’t like the texture of cooked onion) and all other spices.

    This potato casserole looks amazing, Valya! I don’t think I’ve ever had one quite like this. I love the seasonings in here! Such a great alternative to regular mashed potatoes!

            I actually didn’t plant a lot of carrots this year, so I used my last carrots for these creamy potatoes. If I need to store it for winter than I bury it in a big wooden box with some soil in there and store it in the basement or garage/shop. Same with home grown red beets. Did you grow any carrots?

            November 19, 2014 at 7:13 pm

            I did not plant this year but would like to do next one. Have you tried using a sand instead of soil? I think that is how we did in Ukraine

            November 19, 2014 at 9:31 pm

            I didn’t try using sand. I think that sand doesn’t hold moist well and will not preserve vegetables. I’ve always used soil.

      You are actually right David.
      This creamy potatoes are very popular on weddings or church gatherings. So my readers asked me if I make that kind of potatoes and if I can post it. We just made this potatoes last Saturday for teen conference in our church.We made 6 huge pans, and one of those pans could barely fit into the oven. 🙂

Is there anything more comforting food than mashed potatoes? It never gets old at our house. I really wanted to post this quick, creamy, and delicious Instant Pot version of it before Thanksgiving to save you time in the upcoming holiday cooking! You know what is the most important thing I absolutely love about making mashed potatoes in the Instant Pot? Once you mash the potato with a hand mixer (or a potato masher) it can be kept in the pot on warm cycle for hours. The taste and texture are the same as it was just freshly mashed!
