Loaded Mashed Potato Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel and chop the potatoes into uniform pieces. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Add salt and bring to a boil.

2. 2

   Cook the Potatoes

   Boil the potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

3. 3

   Cook the Bacon

   While the potatoes are cooking, fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Chop into small pieces.

4. 4

   Mash the Potatoes

   Add butter, sour cream, cheese sauce, and black pepper to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.

5. 5

   Mix in the Cheddar and Bacon

   Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and most of the chopped bacon (reserve some for topping). Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

6. 6

   Serve

   Transfer the loaded mashed potatoes to a serving dish. Top with remaining bacon, extra shredded cheddar, and chives. Serve warm.
