Totally Loaded Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Totally Loaded Mashed Potatoes Recipe

How can you go wrong with bacon, cream cheese, sour cream, chives, cheese? You cannot, not with this recipe for totally loaded mashed potatoes. It has everything but the kitchen sink in it.

Might as well rub it on your thighs because that is where is is going.

But it is so good, and there are never any leftovers…so give it a try!

We like to serve this with meatloaf or maybe some grilled chicken but it is also really quite the show stopper when we bring it to a potluck gathering with friends and family. There is nothing left at the end of the dinner except an empty casserole dish!
