It’s no secret that our family loves potatoes. That would be easy to confirm if you just searched “potato” here on the site and saw the dozens of recipes that showed up. 😉
We also like to try out new potato recipes so we can share out favorites with all of you. Today’s recipe for Loaded Mashed Potatoes happens to be a new favorite and one I think you will enjoy too. With bacon and cheese on top and a layer of cheese in the middle, these potatoes are sure to be a hit! You can see from the picture above all the cheesy goodness which makes this recipe a winner in our books!
With the holidays fast approaching, we love to have yummy potato recipes for Thanksgiving AND Christmas, and I know many of you do too. In the past, we’ve always had classic Mashed Potatoes, but over the years we’ve tried other recipes like our Twice Baked Potato Casserole or our Parmesan Sweet Potatoes.
This year, we will be making these Stuffed Mashed Potatoes again because they were simple and so delicious. We’re hoping you give them a try and let us know what you think as well. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do. 😀
How to Make STUFFED Mashed Potatoes
To make these potatoes, you begin like any classic mashed potatoes recipe – you boil the potatoes in a large pot of water. Once the water is drained, you add the potatoes back to the pot, along with butter, sour cream, garlic salt and pepper. Mash the potatoes until they are smooth.
Then, you will spoon half the potatoes into a greased pan, cover with half the cheese and bacon, and then add the remaining potatoes. Sprinkle on the rest of the cheese and bacon.
Bake this for 30-35 minutes to have delicious loaded mashed potatoes. You won’t believe how delicious they are.
We also have a similar version for our Cheesy Mashed Potato Casserole which is just as delicious, and even has cream cheese. 😉
Can you make this dish ahead of time? Indeed. Just keep refrigerated and covered for up to 48 hours in advance. Bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Other toppings for loaded mashed potatoes? Chives, green onions and chopped parsley are our go-to’s for these!
So cheesy and delicious!! Can’t wait to make them for Thanksgiving. 😀
