Ingredients
- 5 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Cooked and crumbled bacon (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Step 3
Place the potato cubes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Step 5
Add the butter, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. You can leave some chunks if you prefer a more rustic texture.
Step 6
Stir in 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and half of the chopped parsley. Mix until evenly combined.
Step 7
Transfer the mashed potato mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Step 8
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the potatoes.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with the remaining parsley and, if desired, the cooked and crumbled bacon.
Step 11
Serve warm and enjoy Shelah's Yummy Potatoes as a side dish or a meal on its own!
