Ingredients :
6 large potatoes
2/3 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk or cream
1/4 cup butter
4 ounces cream cheese
1 pound bacon fully cooked and crumbled
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 green onions diced
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions :
Preheat oven to 375F.
Peel the potatoes (or partially peel if you like the potato skin in the casserole) and cut into 2-inch chunks. Place the potatoes in a large pot of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes then place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the milk/cream, sour cream, butter, and cream cheese. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until they reach your desired consistency.
Add the cooked bacon (reserve some to sprinkle on top of the casserole), 1 1/2 cups of the cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, 1 of the diced green onions, salt, and pepper; stir well.
Scoop the potato mixture into a 2-quart glass baking dish. Top with the reserved bacon, 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese, and the remaining 1 diced green onion.
Bake the casserole at 375F for 25-30 minutes until it is hot and the cheese is melted.
Cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy!!
