Tired of the same old mashed potatoes, I whipped up this new family favorite. We can't get enough of them at our house. Often, I'll prepare this dish ahead and refrigerate it. Then I bake it just before serving.

I have made this recipe at least 4 times and everyone loves it. I can make a meal out this and be happy!

Very good, but a little too rich with the bacon. I won't put the bacon in next time.

This is going to be my go-to potluck recipe! I used only 2 lbs. of yukon gold potatoes (skin-on), and decreased the sour cream slightly and used a splash of cream instead of milk. I used 2 tbsp. of butter and hand mashed. Threw in a little Fontina with the cheddar as well, though only used 1 1/2 c cheese. Tastes almost identical to a nationwide chain's version, but not near as salty. This refrigerates and reheats well, so great for pot luck or treating a sick neighbor with a ready-made, reheat and serve side dish.

<p>I gave these potatoes only 3 stars because the recipe as is lacks quite a bit of flavor. I added a full cup of sour cream, a whole stick of butter, and 1lb of bacon instead of 1/2. When you cook the bacon down you're really not left with a whole lot and my husband LOVES bacon. It's obviously not a lowfat dish but I only make it for Thanksgiving. I also added something called "21 seasoning salute" and it really made a difference (about 1 1/2 tsp.). Oh.. and I added at least a half cup more cheese to the top!! I love cheese! At Thanksgiving old and young alike RAVE about this dish! Everyone loves it!!!</p>

Oh, yes, I made this for a Potluck at our Church and it's a "Keeper". Everybody loved it.

I thought these potatoes were decent but nothing spectacular. I felt that I could have winged it without a recipe and come up with something just as good. They did have good flavor and were easy to make but I was looking for something special not average. I do not think I would make these again but would still recommend them to someone who likes loaded mashed potatoes and is looking for a good recipe.

These were very tasty and easy to take for a meal at a friend's house. I added garlic powder and onion powder to taste and probably added more sour cream because I like it. I didn't have scallions, so that is why I added the additional flavors. Yum!

I cook for church kids on Wednesday nights and making mashed potatoes for 40 is a lot of peeling and cooking. I 'make' this recipe using instant mashed potatoes (big box at Sam's Club) and add the sour cream, butter, cheese, bacon, and green onions. Everybody loves it and it sure makes instant potatoes taste great. I too use the light sour cream and cheese.
