Loaded Mashed Potato Casserole

Mashed Potatoes are my favorite way to eat potatoes. I love how creamy, flavorful and tasty they are.

This casserole takes mashed potatoes to a whole new level.

These poatoes are LOADED with bacon, cheese, sour cream and a variety of seasonings to really jazz up plain old mashed potatoes and make them something extraordinary.

Serves 10

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 10-12 slices bacon, cooked, drained and crumbled
  • 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, divided
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk or half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with 1-2 inches of cold water. Bring up to a boil, then reduce heat and cook for 20 minutes, or until fork tender.
  2. Remove pot from heat, drain potatoes and return to empty pot. Preheat oven to 350º F.
  3. Using a potato masher, smash potatoes to desired consistency and season with onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  4. Mix in cream cheese, sour cream, milk, parmesan cheese, butter and 1 cup cheddar cheese, then transfer to a 9×13-inch baking dish (or smaller ramekins for individual mash casseroles).
  5. Sprinkle bacon and remaining cheddar cheese over the top and place in oven; bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes before serving.
