Description

These bacon mashed potatoes are very tasty and put zing into a plain old side dish. I made these and the next day could not wait to eat the leftovers (hoping no one else got to them first).

Ingredients
  • 6 baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon milk, or as needed
  • 8 slices bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
  • ½ bunch green onions, chopped, or to taste
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
  1. 1. Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain.
  2. 2. Mash potatoes in a large bowl using an electric mixer; pour in milk to make creamier. Stir in bacon, Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, green onions, sour cream, butter, garlic, salt, and pepper.
