Loaded Mashed Potatoes Bake
All the flavors of your favorite loaded mashed potatoes, baked to creamy perfection. The perfect side dish for the whole family to enjoy!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 lbs redskin potatoes mostly peeled
- 5 cloves garlic smashed
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 green onions sliced
- 11 slices of bacon cooked and sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Toppings:
- 2-3 slices of bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1/2-1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Wash and dry potatoes, peel about 3/4 of the skin off, chop into large chunks and place in a large pot. Smash the cloves of garlic, add to pot, cover with water and boil for about 15-20 minutes (until potatoes are fork tender).
- While potatoes are boiling, preheat your oven to 375 degrees and grease a 13x9" baking dish.
- Drain potatoes and mash slightly with a potato masher. Add butter, sour cream, heavy cream and cream cheese and mash or whip to your desired consistency. I use a hand mixer to whip the potatoes smooth.
- Add remaining ingredients (not including the toppings) and stir to combine.
- Spoon potatoes into the prepared baking dish, top with the toppings and bake for 25-30 minutes until cheese is melted.
- Garnish with sliced green onions.
