Ingredients
PREP TIME: 35 minutes
BAKE TIME: 20 minutes
5 pounds potatoes – Russet potatoes and Yukon Gold potatoes are preferred – they have a perfect amount of starch which helps create creamy, flavorful potatoes. 1 cup sour cream – use full-fat sour cream. ½ cup butter – salted or unsalted work great, but you may need more salt if you’re using unsalted butter. 8 ounces cream cheese ½ cup milk – use 2% or higher for this recipe. 2 teaspoons garlic salt (with parsley flakes) black pepper – to taste 12 slices cooked bacon – We prefer to make Bacon in the Oven but you can also use a microwave bacon if you’re in a rush. 2 cups cheddar cheese – use other cheeses or a blend of your favorites including Mozzarella and Italian blend. ½ cup parmesan cheese garnish – green onion, chives, or other fresh herbs work great.
