Twice Baked MASHED potatoes!

So don't be scared by the pic of all the cheese.. it totally makes the dish! I was very skeptical about making these because 1: the recipe called for sour cream and Kevin hates sour cream and 2: I never made homemade mashed potatoes.. but they turned out AMAZING and Kevin went crazy over them! (There may look like a lot of cheese, but trust me, there's a crap ton of potatoes under there!)

Here's the recipe!

Twice Baked Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

8 medium potatoes (peeled and cubed)

1/2 c sour cream (actually i used a lil less than 1/2 c just because Kevin hates sour cream and I didn't want the taste to be strong.. so I used somewhere between 1/4 - 1/2c

1/3 c butter

1 teas salt

1/4 teas pepper

1 c shredded cheddar cheese

2 strips of bacon (cooked and crumbled)

Chives

• Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water; cover and bring to a boil; cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender
• Drain and mash
• Add sour cream, butter, salt and pepper.
• Beat until smooth and fluffy
• Transfer to a greased 2 1/2 qt baking dish
• Sprinkle with cheese (make sure you use the whole cup! I almost didn't, but glad I did!), bacon, and chives. (Chives are optional.)
• Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is fully melted @ 325

This serving makes A LOT. Kevin and I reheated them the next day and he even had enough left over for the following days lunch!
