how to make Steakhouse Potatoes Romanoff

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon butter, or as needed
• 3 large russet potatoes, scrubbed
• 0.25 cup minced shallots
• 3 teaspoons kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
• 2.5 cups grated sharp white Cheddar cheese
• 1.75 cups sour cream

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Poke holes into each potato using a knife. Wrap each potato in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are very tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
4. Let the potatoes cool to room temperature. Unwrap and place on a plate. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely chilled, which takes about 8 hours to overnight.
5. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Butter a casserole dish.
6. Leave the skin on the potatoes. Use a cheese grater to shred the potatoes into a large bowl. Add the shallots to the potatoes and season with salt, white pepper, and cayenne. Toss with two forks until well combined.
7. Add the cheddar cheese and mix well. Gently toss in the sour cream until barely combined.
8. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, piling it up high and patting it down very lightly.
9. Bake in the preheated oven until the dish is piping hot and the top is browned, about 30 to 35 minutes.
