Main Ingredients

▢ 4 lb russet potatoes peeled and cubed
▢ 0.5 cup sour cream
▢ 0.5 cup milk
▢ 4 tablespoons butter softened
▢ 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
▢ 8 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
▢ 0.25 cup green onions sliced

▢ 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the sour cream, milk, butter, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
Stir in 1 cup of cheddar cheese, half of the bacon, and half of the green onions.
Transfer the mashed potato mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with remaining bacon and green onions before serving.

Notes

For a spicier version, add some diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to the mixture.
