Potatoes are one of life’s most modest yet most amazing gifts. You can fry them, roast them, bake them – and no matter the method you choose, you’re graced with spuddy perfection each time. But what is particularly mind-boggling is that cooking them two times makes them twice as nice, hence Twice As Nice Casserole. First, you roast the spuds to achieve tenderness ideal for mashing. Then, mash them all up, make ’em nice and creamy, and fold in some salty bacon, gooey cheese, and oniony chives. Last but certainly not least, toss them back in the oven for round two in the oven where they achieve a taste that you won’t be able to understand until you’re eating it. Twice As Nice Casserole is such a wonderfully simple pleasure; isn’t life just so delicious sometimes?
