Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1.5 cups Sour cream
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 0.25 cups Chives, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly, then pierce each one multiple times with a fork.
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, or until the skins are crisp and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes, until they are safe to handle.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl, leaving the skins behind. Discard the skins.
Add butter, sour cream, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the bowl with the potato flesh. Mash until smooth and creamy.
Fold in 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and half of the crumbled bacon.
Transfer the potato mixture into a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and bacon over the top.
Bake the casserole at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven, garnish with chopped chives, and serve warm.
