Ingredients
- 6 large russet potatoes

- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Peel and cut the large russet potatoes into evenly sized chunks.
Step 2
Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for a minute to let the excess moisture evaporate.

Add 1 cup of butter, 1 cup of sour cream, and 0.5 cups of milk to the potatoes. Mash using a potato masher or an electric hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Stir in 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, 6 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Step 7
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread them out evenly.
Step 8
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Step 9
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Step 10
Garnish with 0.25 cups of sliced green onions and serve immediately. Enjoy your loaded mashed potatoes!
