I’m totally ready for fall. I’m ready for super comforting meals that I get to eat while sitting at home, in my sweat pants, with my slippers on! And I’m ready for Thanksgiving. Too soon perhaps? Considering the fact that it’s still about 80 degrees here in LA, I guess this Potato Romanoff dish will have to do 🙂
Twice Baked Potatoes have always been a favorite of mine, so when I saw this recipe for Potatoes Romanoff (something I had never tried before) I knew I had to make it immediately! It takes the twice baked potato to a whole new level by shredding the baked potato and folding in lots of sharp white cheddar cheese, flavorful shallots and sour cream. Once it’s tossed together, it’s topped with a little more cheese, because really everything is better when topped in cheese, and then baked again until the cheese is golden and the potatoes are warm.
Okay, here’s what to do…
Start with 3 large russet potatoes.
Wrap each of them up in tin foil.
Stick them into a 425 degree preheated oven on the metal rack. They are going to bake for about 1 hour! Once the potatoes come out of the oven, remove the tin foil and let them cool. Once cooled, place them in a container and cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Next using a box grater, or your food processor grater attachment, grate all of the potatoes.
Chop up a few shallots
Combine the grated potato and chopped shallots into a large bowl
Pile on most of the white cheddar cheese. Try not to eat half of it like me because it just means you have to grate more when you’re ready for it!
Add the salt and pepper
Followed by a big dollop of sour cream. Yummmm!
Mix everything together with your hands if you feel like getting a little messy or with a spoon. Whichever you prefer!
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and plop it on in. No need to pack down the potatoes, leave them scattered about so it give it that rustic look.
Scatter on the remaining cheddar cheese (by this step, I most certainly had to grate more cheese since I kept snacking on it) and bake it in a 350 degree oven for about 30-40 minutes until the cheese is just golden and the potatoes are hot!
Once it’s out of the oven – it’s time to dig in!
*Feel free to top your serving with some chopped scallions or chives – it gives it an extra dimension and it’s just the right thing to do 🙂
And – this would be an excellent side dish for some steaks. #JustSayin

It’s fall, and these potatoes make me want to curl up on a couch with a warm fire and a pair of sweatpants. (in a good way 🙂
Gotta luv potatoes – just wondering what you gain by putting them all in together rather than double stuffing them with the jackets on?
This makes it easier for self-serve meals, potlucks, buffets, and large families (like mine). =) In fact, I’d have to at least double this recipe. This is on my ‘must do’ list. Thanks (again) Gaby!
That is pretty fancy for potatoes. Love it.
I think this might be the easiest, most decadent potato dish ever. Thank you, I mean, how very dare you, share this recipe with us.
Way to bring back such a tasty classic! Though I don’t know how you managed to cook that up in all this hot weather…
I am so ready for fall and comfort food like this. Twice baked potatoes are a favorite at my house…I will definitely have to make them this way!
My daughter has just decided that potatoes are her all time favorite food. She could live on these 😉
I love! Comfort food at it’s best.
I love these!! My mom used to make them occasionally when I was growing up – haven’t thought about them in a while and have bookmarked this to make when the weather gets cooler!!
My father has been making pretty much the same potatoes all my life only he adds bacon!
i’m ready for fall too. it’s a tough life here in los angeles 😉
It looks tasty…can’t wait to try it!
Mmmmm! I made two batches, and in one I added 1/4 pnd. of crumbled bacon. Both were awesome. Thank you!
Oh, my goodness that looks divine. I don’t ever care that it’s 92 degrees here in Georgia today, I still want to make it immediately.
Looks amazing! Sign me up!
You are right this is the perfect side for a big ol’ steak! YUM!
Wow! That looks amazing. I’ll have to try it some day!
I made this with Gouda and it was Delicious!!
I just made a couple of different kinds of smashed potatoes last week and thought I was done for awhile. Maybe not…these are so up my ‘I like the skins on’ alley and easy too. Perfect.
I don’t know who you are, but I think I just fell in love with you. Potatoes are my favorite food of all time, I could eat them all day, every day, any way. These look absolutely incredible!!
I really wan’t them spuds 🙂 Beats Mash anyday :L
You can same some time by using frozen hashbrowns. I’ve made them that way for years. Its also good with a mixture of 3-4 cheeses.
Now this looks really good i have heard a lot of GOOD things about the twice Baked Potatoe and the pictures brings to image in my head to life, now all i need to do is try to make it…thanks for the Recipe.
Thanks for sharing! I have all of the ingredients and I think we will be having this tonight!
Wow. I’m definitely bookmarking this. Making it Sunday for the game. Looks fantastic. Have you made it using any other kinds of cheese? Or bacon?
Looks great!
BACON.
Goodness they sound amazing!
This looks great! Especially the last picture.
Dont forget the bacon!
We have been getting tons of potatoes from our CSA. Think it’s time to try these delectable looking potatoes.
These look super good and well worth the double baking time! Added to my to-do list!
That looks super yummy! I just love everything that has to do with potatoes.
This really looks delicious. I love twice baked potatoes, and this takes it to a whole new level!
How many people will this feed as a side dish?
At least 8 people 🙂
Perfect! I’m cooking steak for…oh gosh a lot of people, but around 8 or 10 and most of them are men who this is PERFECT for. Right up their alley. Thanks!
This was a spectacular dish that I tried on my family last night! Thanks so much for sharing. This is a great recipe for figuring out leftover potatoes. 😀
This is great!!! But how do I print a shorter version off… I don’t have that much ink in my printer :/
Hi Aubrey,
My print function is currently not working as we are updating some things on the site. The best way to print is to just copy and paste the recipe into a word document and then print just the recipe from there! Thanks 🙂
This is a great potato recipe! I love potatoes, in fact it is my comfort food. Thank you for sharing this recipe now I have another delicious potato dish to enjoy.
I really screwed up and shredded the potatoes first. How would I go about saving myself the frustration of going out and buying more potatoes and not being able to utilize what I have shredded already? Oops…lol
Could you maybe post the amounts for the ingredients? Like how much cheese, salt, pepper, etc. Thank you
I’m actually making this for the third time, its in the oven right now! I just thought I would say a quick thank you. This recipe is great 🙂
amazing recipe.. thankyou for sharing!! will be enjoying this ASAP!
Is it necessary to refrigerate overnight? Can that step be avoided? I’m planning on making those tonight. Thanks!
I bet you could easily skip that step and just keep cooking 🙂
These look great, going to put on my Make This list. What I don’t get though is why you waste tinfoil to wrap spuds in. What’s the reason for that?
The tin foil just keeps the moisture in the potatoes while you are baking them! So they don’t get super dry. 🙂
these potatoes have been a family favorite since i was a little girl. my sisters and i would ask for my mom to bake pototoes romanoff (or princess potatoes, as we renamed them) for our special birthday dinners … i can’t believe i’ve stumbled on this terrific receipe again. it is delish beyond with ham, and a real crowd pleaser!
I love this dish. I made one myself and posted it on my blog. I got my recipe from a family member and must make it every year at Christmas. Yours looks delish.
Oh my Lord!
This was absolutely fantastic! Even my FATHER loved it, and he’s picky as ever!
I was able to cook this just fine, and I’m a teenager. I think kids would love to cook it with parents. ^^ I know mine will when I have them.
I found your recipe on Pinterest and made it for my family tonight. Best potatoes I have ever made! They were delicious! We rate new recipes and we gave this one 10 out of 10! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks April!!!
