Ingredients

• 3 pounds russet potatoes
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 3 tablespoons green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water.

Step 2

Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels, crumble into small pieces, and set aside.

Step 4

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for a couple of minutes to let any excess moisture evaporate.

Step 5

Add the butter, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Use a potato masher or hand mixer to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Step 6

Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 4 crumbled bacon slices, and 2 tablespoons of green onions until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish. Top with the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 2 slices of crumbled bacon, and 1 tablespoon of green onions as garnish.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy your Farmhouse Loaded Mashed Potatoes!
