Loaded Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

6 pounds Idaho potatoes, peeled and quartered
Salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup butter
1 (12-ounce) carton sour cream
1 (8-ounce) bag of cheddar cheese, grated
Evaporated milk as needed
Diced green onion (Optional and to your personal preference)
1 1/2 pounds cooked bacon, julienned

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large stockpot, cook potatoes in enough salted water to cover for 10 to 15 minutes or until tender.
Drain and return to stockpot. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth; adding salt, to taste, pepper, butter, and sour cream. With a spatula stir in cheese, onion, and bacon. Add more salt and pepper, if necessary. Place in a casserole dish and top with cheese, bacon, and onion and place in oven until warmed through and cheese melts. Serve immediately.
