Top down view of raw ingredients for Steakhouse Potatoes Romanov including potatoes, sour cream, cheddar cheese, green onions, and bacon
  • 4 large baked potatoes (about 3 lbs), peeled and diced – the base of your creamy potato casserole!
  • 1 cup sour cream – adds the perfect tang and creaminess for rich potato bake vibes
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese – because potatoes with cheese turn anything into a win
  • ½ cup chopped green onions – for a little fresh bite in your Steakhouse Potatoes Romanov
  • 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled – if you’re short on bacon, a pinch of smoked paprika works too!
  • 1 teaspoon salt – to bring all those cozy flavors forward
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper – for a mild kick that keeps it kid-friendly
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter – the secret for extra comfort in every bite
  • ½ cup heavy cream – to give your potatoes that creamy potato casserole texture

I snag all these simple staples at my regular grocery spot—no specialty store needed here! This list proves comfort-style cooking doesn’t mean expensive ingredients or fancy trips.

A quick comfort hack: If you don’t have sour cream, plain Greek yogurt works beautifully for your Steakhouse Potatoes Romanov and adds a little protein boost too. I also sometimes swap cheddar for mozzarella for a milder cheese flavor my youngest devours every time.

For those busy moms who love a shortcut, get your baked potatoes in advance—roast a batch on Sunday for the week’s dinner wins, like this creamy, cheesy Steakhouse Potatoes Romanov. Having prepped potatoes is a lifesaver after school during the cozy chaos of weeknight dinners.

I love how the bacon adds that smoky, rich touch, but if your family prefers a vegetarian version, leaving it out still keeps this a delicious steakhouse side dish that everyone raves about.

Let’s Make it Happen!

Here’s how we turn those simple ingredients into a beloved Steakhouse Potatoes Romanov that your family will keep asking for:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. This temp is perfect for a rich potato bake without drying things out.
  2. Mix the creamy base: In a large bowl, combine sour cream, melted butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Stir these together for the comforting base of your Steakhouse Potatoes Romanov.
  3. Add the potatoes: Fold your diced baked potatoes gently into the creamy mixture. This is where the magic starts, turning your plain baked potatoes into a creamy potato casserole dream.
  4. Cheesy goodness: Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, and crumbled bacon. This blend of potatoes with cheese and smoky bacon is what makes this Steakhouse Potatoes Romanov a true steakhouse side dish favorite.
  5. Into the baking dish: Pour everything into a greased 9×13 baking dish. Spread evenly so every bite gets a bit of that creamy potato casserole texture.
  6. Bake for about 30-35 minutes. Your kitchen will start smelling divine—a warm, cheesy, comfort-food smell that means your Steakhouse Potatoes Romanov is almost ready!
  7. Check for bubbly edges: When you see golden, bubbly cheese on top, your dish is ready for family dinner. If you want a crispier top, pop it under the broiler for 2-3 minutes—watch it closely so it doesn’t burn!

Pro tip: While your Steakhouse Potatoes Romanov is baking, it’s a stellar time to prep tomorrow’s lunch or tidy up the kitchen before a smoother evening.

If you ever feel like your casserole looks a bit runny, don’t fret—sometimes the cream and sour cream settle differently. Just give it a minute after baking; it firms up into a cozy casserole you’ll love serving.

I learned early on to resist overmixing after adding cheese and bacon—delicate folding keeps that creamy potato casserole texture lovely.

For busy nights when you want this Steakhouse Potatoes Romanov faster, try using leftover mashed potatoes. It’s a handy shortcut that makes this recipe a no-brainer for family comfort food night.

For an extra cozy twist, experiment by adding a sprinkle of nutmeg or a pinch of garlic powder to your creamy mix. These little flavor tweaks make your Steakhouse Potatoes Romanov uniquely yours and ever-loved by your crew.
