Mashed potatoes always seem to be a go-to side dish in our home. However, plain mashed potatoes haven't been going over so well with some of my family.

So I needed to kick them up a notch and load them with goodness. I have made these loaded mashed potatoes when we have had company over for dinner as well as for a Sunday dinner.

Every time they seem to be a big hit. I'm thinking with Thanksgiving and Christmas coming these might be on the menu.

Loaded Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Cutting board with a potato that will be used for the loaded mashed potatoes.

Before we can load the mashed potatoes we need to make the mashed potatoes. When making mashed potatoes I like to cut the potato into smaller sizes. I find that this helps at the cooking time as well as when they are mashed.

Cut the potato in half then cut the half again and then chop chunks. As I'm cutting the chunks I'll add them into a medium-size saucepan. Cover the potatoes with water and boil until fork-tender.

While the potatoes are cooking you can start to cook the bacon. Placing the bacon on a cookie sheet that is covered in foil. I then place the cookie sheet in a 400℉ oven for 15 minutes. I find this is crispy enough for my liking, of course, you can go longer if you like.

When the potatoes are cooking that would be the perfect time to chop the green onion. Once the potatoes are fork-tender drain the water off of them.

Using a hand mixer start whipping the potatoes. As I whip the potatoes I will add the butter. Once the potatoes are whipped to your liking add the sour cream into the potatoes.

After the bacon has cooked place it on a paper towel to pat off any grease. Chop the bacon into bite-size pieces. Stir the bacon, cheese, green onion, salt, black pepper into the potatoes with a large spoon.

Place foil over the 9x13 baking dish and place it into a 350℉ oven for 1 hour.

This dish would go great with meatloaf or just about anything you would normally have mashed potatoes with.

Tips

I love sharing tips that I use to make cooking or baking go easy. You can find some great tips for baking in my post Baker's Dozen.

Here are some tips I have for making loaded mashed potatoes.

  • When cutting the potatoes I find the smaller the size I cut the potatoes into. The faster they cook.
  • I like to think of ways that make cleaning up easier. Foil or silicone sheets are my go-to's in protecting cookie sheets. They have made cleaning up so much easier.
  • The bacon I find it much easier to cook in the oven. Cooking bacon in the oven means less mess, no grease splattering over the stovetop. Plus you get perfectly crispy bacon doing it this way.
