Creamy mashed potatoes are one of my favorite things in the world. But mix them together with bacon, green onions, two different kinds of cheeses and then top them with even more cheese, and I am in heaven.
Ingredients
- 2 large baking potaotes, scrubbed and rinsed shopping list
- 4 slices thick cut bacon, diced into 1 inch pieces shopping list
- 1 tablespoon butter shopping list
- 1/4 cup milk shopping list
- 1/4 cup sour cream shopping list
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese, plus about 1/4 cup more for topping shopping list
- 1/2 cup grated pepper jack cheese shopping list
- 2 green onions, diced about 2 tablespoons shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Puncture potatoes with a fork about 6 times around the potato, this will allow steam to escape while they are cooking. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the skins are crispy but the potato is soft. You should be able to insert a fork and remove it easily.
- While your potato is cooking cook your bacon until brown. Remove to paper towel lined plate. Set aside.
- Once your potatoes are baked, turn your oven down to 350 degrees.
- Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise (Note: be careful they will retain a lot of the heat for awhile). Being careful not to puncture the skin, spoon out the insides, place them in a mixing bowl and set the skins aside.
- To the potatoes add butter, milk and sour cream. Use an electric mixer and mix until smooth.Stir in 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, pepper jack cheese and green onions. Mix well.
- Fill the potato skins with the mixture. Top with remaining cheddar cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees in a baking dish until the cheese melts.
