Loaded Mashed Potatoes with Bacon image

Mashed potatoes that could be a meal. Hardy, filling, and savory. I started making mashed potatoes this way mainly for my daughter who loves loaded baked potatoes. The first time I tried this was because we were having company for dinner and I was running low on potatoes. It was the hit of the dinner. About a year after I started making them this way, we went to a restaurant that had a similar offering. My daughter said mine was still better.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound turkey bacon
6 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
1 (8 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
4 green onions, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Lay bacon strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned and crisp, about 15 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Leave oven on.
  • While the bacon is cooking, place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, place in a large mixing bowl, and mash with a fork or potato masher.
  • Chop bacon and add to potatoes. Stir in sour cream, Cheddar cheese, green onions, salt, and pepper until well mixed. Transfer to a large casserole dish.
  • Bake until potatoes are heated through and cheese is melted, about 45 minutes. Re-mix to blend cheese throughout and serve hot.

Overall, these potatoes were pretty good. I would definitely make them again, but I would make a few changes.

These potatoes were way too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I'm not sure why, but my potatoes turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much milk.

These potatoes were a little bland for my taste, but I think that's just because I didn't add enough salt and pepper.

I would have liked the potatoes to be a little more cheesy, but overall they were still very good.

The potatoes were a little too garlicky for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.

I was skeptical about the sour cream and cream cheese, but they really added a nice tanginess to the potatoes. I would definitely recommend using them.
