    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil.

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add the unsalted butter, whole milk, sour cream, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Mash them until smooth and creamy.

    Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions, reserving some for garnish if desired.
