Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 stalks green onions, sliced
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for greasing the baking dish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or butter and set aside.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese until well combined.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to the prepared baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the potatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled bacon and sliced green onions over the top.
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy and cheesy mashed potato bake!
