Ingredients

• 6 large russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 stalks green onions, sliced
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for greasing the baking dish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or butter and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese until well combined.

Step 5

Transfer the mashed potatoes to the prepared baking dish, spreading them out evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the potatoes.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden on top.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled bacon and sliced green onions over the top.

Step 9

Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy and cheesy mashed potato bake!
