Instructions
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
- Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and fill until they are covered in water. Stir in the salt.
- Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a lower heat until the potatoes are just simmering, a low rolling boil. Keeping it at this lower boil will help prevent them from boiling over.
- Cook until the potatoes fall apart when pierced with a fork.
- Remove the potatoes from the heat and drain off the water in a colander. Let them sit there draining.
- Heat the half-and-half, the butter and the garlic puree in a medium saucepan over medium heat until simmering slightly, then remove from the heat and set aside.
- Mash the potatoes using a masher or a potato ricer until smooth.
- Mix in the hot garlic mixture until combined through.
To Assemble the Potato Casserole
- Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Grease a 9x13 baking pan and set aside.
- Gently mix in 1/4 cup of the bacon, 1 cup cheese and half of the green onions into the garlic potato mixture.
- Spread the mixture out in the baking dish, then top with the remaining cheese and green onions. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of bacon on top. Cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the oven until completely heated through and the cheese is melted, around 20-25 minutes.
- If desired, remove the foil and cook for another 10 minutes, letting the cheese brown.
- Remove and let sit for 5-10 minutes, then serve.
Notes
- You can play around with the ingredients as you like! Add more sour cream to taste, different cheese, etc.
