Ingredients
- 3 pounds russet potato approximately 5 large, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
- ¼ cup milk (warm)
- 4 tablespoon butter (melted)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 ½ cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 lb Bacon (chopped)
- ¼ cup chives (diced, or green onion)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover them by 2 inches. Add 1 teaspoon salt and bring the water to a simmer over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
- While the potatoes are boiling, cook the chopped bacon in a large pan until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain excess fat and set aside.
- Drain the potatoes in a strainer and set the strainer over the hot pot to evaporate the excess water.
- Put the potatoes in the pot, reduce the heat to low, then add the melted butter, sour cream, and milk. Mash the potatoes until creamy with potato masher or handheld mixer.
- Stir in 1 cup of cheddar cheese, half of the cooked bacon, and half of the diced chives (or green onions).
- Transfer the mashed potatoes into a 9-inch square or round baking dish (or oven safe casserole dish), coated with cooking spray.
- Evenly distribute the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and bacon on top of the mashed potatoes. Bake for about 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly (check that the bacon does not get overcooked while baking).
- Sprinkle the remaining diced chives over top and serve immediately. Enjoy!
