1
Peel and Cut Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1-2 inches.
2
Boil Potatoes
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
3
Drain Potatoes
Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a minute to remove excess moisture.

4
Mash Potatoes
Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Use a potato masher or a hand mixer to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
5
Add Loaded Ingredients
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions. Mix until well combined.

6
Top with Sour Cream
Spoon the loaded mashed potatoes into a serving bowl and top with sour cream. Optional: garnish with additional green onions and cheese.
7
Serve Warm
Serve the loaded mashed potatoes warm as a side dish to your favorite main course.
