Ingredients
  

Potato Mixture
  • 2 pounds russet or Yukon gold potatoes Russets give fluffier mash; Yukon golds are creamier.
  • 1 cup sour cream Substitute plain Greek yogurt for a higher-protein option.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese Cheddar is classic; try sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack.
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled Use turkey bacon for a leaner option.
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced Adds fresh crunch and color.
  • 1/2 cup milk Optional; adds creaminess if desired.
  • Salt and pepper Season to taste.

Preparation

Baking
