Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large russet potatoes
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup green onions, sliced
Instructions
Peel and cut the large russet potatoes into evenly sized chunks.
Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for a minute to let the excess moisture evaporate.
Add 1 cup of butter, 1 cup of sour cream, and 0.5 cups of milk to the potatoes. Mash using a potato masher or an electric hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Stir in 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, 6 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread them out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Garnish with 0.25 cups of sliced green onions and serve immediately. Enjoy your loaded mashed potatoes!
