1
Boil the Potatoes
Peel and cut the russet potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
2
Cook Until Tender
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.

3
Mash the Potatoes
Use a potato masher or ricer to mash the cooked potatoes until smooth.
4
Add Butter and Milk
Add 4 tablespoons of butter and 1 cup of milk to the mashed potatoes. Mix until combined and creamy.
5
Season the Mashed Potatoes
Season with 1 tsp of black pepper and adjust salt to taste, mixing well to ensure even seasoning.

6
Layer the Toppings
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and top with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup of crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions.
7
Serve with Sour Cream
Serve the loaded mashed potatoes warm, with a dollop of 1 cup of sour cream on top.
