Loaded Mashed Potato Bowl Recipe

American · Main course · 40 min total

A comforting bowl of creamy mashed potatoes topped with cheese, bacon, sour cream, and chives, perfect for a hearty meal.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
2. Drain potatoes and return to the pot. Mash with a potato masher or ricer.
3. Warm milk and butter in a small saucepan over low heat until butter melts. Gradually add to potatoes, mashing until smooth.
4. Stir in sour cream, half the cheese, half the bacon, and half the chives. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Divide mashed potatoes among 4 bowls. Top with remaining cheese, bacon, and chives. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra creamy potatoes, use a ricer instead of a masher.
• To make ahead, prepare mashed potatoes without toppings, cover, and refrigerate. Reheat and add toppings before serving.
• Substitute turkey bacon or omit bacon for a vegetarian version.
