Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 6 slices Bacon
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and cut them into large chunks.

Step 3

Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes are boiling, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon, let it cool, and crumble it into small pieces. Set aside.

Step 5

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 6

Stir in 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese and half of the crumbled bacon into the mashed potatoes.

Step 7

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish and spread them out evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top, followed by the rest of the crumbled bacon.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Step 10

While the potatoes are baking, thinly slice the green onions.

Step 11

Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the green onions on top as a garnish.

Step 12

Let the potatoes cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy the cheesy, bacon-filled goodness!
