Green Onion and Bacon Mashed Potatoes
Share recipe
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. 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. 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.
