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.

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.

I used light sour cream, reduced fat cheddar colby cheese. It was still fabulous!

Served last night for dinner. Everyone-kids and adults alike-enjoyed. Going to be a new staple for company at our house!

I, too, have made this for years. For the cheese, I mix sharp cheddar cream cheese and fresh grated Parmesan or Romano.

I've been making this recipe for years, under a different title, and I use the REAL bacon bits in a jar instead of cooking the bacon. Works just as well as fresh bacon and sure saves a lot of time & electricity. It's a favorite of ours.
