Chef John's Steakhouse Potatoes Romanoff
A rich, cheesy, and irresistibly fluffy potato side dish. This classic steakhouse favorite is made with grated baked potatoes, sharp white cheddar, and a generous amount of sour cream, baked until golden brown and delicious. Chef's tips: (1) The key to this recipe's texture is using baked potatoes that have been cooled completely. This prevents them from becoming gummy or mushy when grated and mixed. (2) Be very gentle when mixing all the ingredients, especially after adding the sour cream. Overmixing will result in a dense, heavy dish instead of a light and fluffy one.
