First, I should apologize, these photos are terrible. Second, it doesn’t matter because these ugly pictures shouldn’t deter you from giving these mashed potatoes a try. They are insanely good.
Last week my sister invited us out for dinner and a bonfire and I being the procrastinator I am, didn’t plan a dish to take over until the day of the get-together. Being the potato loving girl I am, I decided to keep it simple with a mashed potato bake that is out of this world good. Let me clarify, good for your taste buds, not your rear-end.
The toppings ….
The taters ….
Again, less than fabulous photos. I’m absolutely kicking myself because I had to photograph these with my iPhone with horrendous lighting, but I think you get the idea. Potatoes, cheese, bacon, green onions all baked into one delicious bite. Plus all of the high calorie goodness mixed into the potatoes.

Sounds incredible!! Love potatoes and bacon!
They are kind of the perfect pair aren’t they.
This seems like it would feed a bigger crowd. I do something similar with twice baked potatoes but they seem like more work than what they are worth. :)
It does feed quite a lot, depending on how many people go back for 2nd or 3rd helpings lol
WOW that looks really good!
You know I’m making that! I have to!!!! Looks amazing!
YUM! I am thinking of trying this for Thanksgiving. I am making my first holiday side dish this year lol : )
Now this…this is for me! :P
Bacon! Bacon! Bacon!
Uh, I’ll have the bacon with the extra bacon and a side of bacon please…..
Oh my goodness! YUMMY!!!! I liked this on FB so I remember to try it soon!
MMM that looks so good!
Perfect timing on see this recipe! I have THREE massive bags of potatoes and need to cook them asap. YUM! Im going to try this tomorrow.
Dang girl, this looks so yummy and comforting.
Those look SO good! Super easy to make too and a nice change from just plain mashed potatoes.
This just wants to jump off the page and into my mouth.

I’ll be honest…I like the photos! can’t screw up potatoes, cheese and bacon with bad lighting in my book.
I’ve done a similar twist by adding the same mix of “toppings” to a basic potatoe salad recipe. Insanely good. Also excellent for bonfire type cook outs! :)
OMG! What’s not to LOVE!
My boyfriend loved you for this recipe!
These look amazing. We are having them tonight for dinner. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Even though its early in the morning right now, this looks GOOD!
this is great! i always struggle with cooking for a big group of people because i never know how much to make. thank you!
um I want to eat these right now!
Excellent recipe, perfectly scaled for a Thanksgiving crowd. (I used a 9×13 dish.) What I like is that the sour cream and cream cheese helped the texture remain consistent. Unlike ordinary mashed or whipped potatoes, heating up the leftovers the next day proved just as good as fresh baked with no degradation in flavor or texture. This could easily be made a day in advance.
Thank you for sharing. This recipe will make anyone look like a pro!
I love baked potatoes (loaded of course!). My family loves mashed potatoes. This looks like a recipe that would please us all! Yum!!
