Ingredients
10 medium russet potatoes
1/2 lb bacon, diced
4 tbsp sliced butter
3/4 cup sour cream
4 tbsp cream cheese
5 green onions, chopped
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp dried thyme
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- Peel and dice the potatoes. Add the potatoes to a pot of boiling water and boil until fork tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the diced bacon in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through. Move to a paper towel-lined plate to cool and absorb excess grease.
- Add the potatoes, sliced butter, sour cream, cream cheese, green onions (reserve some for garnish), bacon (reserve some for garnish), 1 cup of cheese, milk, salt, pepper, and thyme to a large bowl and mix well with a potato masher or hand mixer. Taste and add more milk if too dry, and more salt and pepper as needed.
- Grease a 9×13 baking dish. Pour the potato mixture in and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melty. Broil for the last 1-2 minutes. Top with the reserved green onions and bacon. Enjoy!

Notes
- Enjoy this as a delicious side dish!
Do you think this could be prepped a day before and cooked the next day?
Can this be assembled and then put in the freezer as a make-ahead side dish? If so, how do you suggest to reheat?
