Ingredients
  • 2½ pounds potatoes (Yukon gold or Russets are best for mashed potatoes)
  • 1 cup shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
  • 4 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
  • ½ cup chopped green onions
  • salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. Peel the potatoes. Cut them into big pieces. Big pieces suck up less water and mashed potatoes will taste better. Put them into a pot and cover them with cold water. Add salt and bring to boil. When the water boils you can turn the heat down (or your stove will be really messy) and let your potatoes simmer for fifteen or twenty minutes. When they are soft and tender they are done.
  2. Now drain them and return them to your pot. Put the pot back on low heat. Why? By doing this you will get rid of all the water and mashed potatoes will taste better. Just make sure you don't burn them.
  3. Now add cheese and milk and mash the potatoes. Put them back on fire and cook them until all the cheese melts. Make sure you keep stirring so you don't burn the potatoes. When the cheese melts you can add the rest of ingredients - sour cream, bacon, green onions, salt, and pepper. Using this much potatoes will feed around 8 people, so you can easily cut all the ingredients in half in you don't need so much mashed potatoes.
Notes
Also, if you like, you can replace bacon with prosciutto. This is the end of this bacon and cheddar mashed potatoes recipe. Enjoy your potatoes.
