Loaded Mashed Potatoes
 
 
Author:
Recipe type: side dish
Ingredients
  • 6 large red potatoes
  • 1 cube butter
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • ½ lb to 1 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 3 green onions chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¾ cup french fried onions and more for topping
Instructions
  1. Cook the red potatoes in the microwave till soft. (I have a button for baked potatoes on mine and it cooks them perfectly.) If you don't microwave them, bake them in the oven. Leave the skins on.
  2. While the potatoes are cooking, cook the bacon and drain on paper towels. ( The more bacon the better for me, so I used a pound package.) Cut the bacon into pieces.
  3. When the potatoes are done, put them in a large bowl and smash them, skin included, with a potato masher. (Hence smashed potatoes) Add the butter, sour cream, onions, salt and pepper, and mix in. Add the bacon and french fried onions. Serve warm. Simple and delicious!!!
