Loaded Mashed Potatoes (Paula Deen) image

I got this from her magazine and let me tell you that these are amazing!! They were made by a firefighting chef, Mike Wathen, where she visited in Alabama. Here are the adjustments I made: red potaotes, light sour cream, light cheddar cheese, and turkey bacon. I actually just fried up the bacon and then crumbled it. Hubby and kids were raving about how these were the best mashed potatoes they have ever had!

Time 40m

Yield 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 lbs idaho potatoes, peeled and quartered
1/2 cup butter
1 head garlic, roasted
1 (12 ounce) carton sour cream
milk
1 (8 ounce) package sharp white cheddar cheese, grated
1 1/2 lbs bacon, julienned and browned
1/2 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In large stockpot, cook potatoes in enough salted water to cover until tender.
  • Drain and return to stockpot.
  • Add butter, garlic, and sourcream; beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Add a little milk, if needed.
  • Stir in cheese, bacon, salt, and pepper. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for mashed potatoes because they are starchy and fluffy. Yukon Gold potatoes are also a good option, but they will result in a slightly creamier mashed potato.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be cooked until they are easily pierced with a fork. If they are not cooked through, they will be hard and lumpy in the mashed potatoes.
  • Drain the potatoes well: After the potatoes are cooked, drain them well in a colander. This will help to remove excess water and prevent the mashed potatoes from being watery.
  • Mash the potatoes until they are smooth: Use a potato masher or a handheld mixer to mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overmix the potatoes, or they will become gluey.
  • Season the mashed potatoes to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add butter, milk, or cream to make the mashed potatoes more creamy.
  • Bake the mashed potatoes until they are golden brown: Spread the mashed potatoes in a baking dish and bake them in a preheated oven until they are golden brown. This will give them a crispy crust and a delicious flavor.

Conclusion:

Paula Deen's Mashed Baked Potato Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
