    These Twice Baked Mashed Potatoes are loaded with cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, then topped with green onions. They are simple to make and taste amazing. 

    Twice Baked Mashed Potatoes in a casserole dish

    I love potatoes loaded with cheese and bacon then topped with green onions! They take potatoes to the entire new level. These Twice Baked Mashed Potatoes are amazing and one of my favorite side dishes. Before we start this recipe is not technically twice baked. They are once boiled and once baked but they are taking on the flavor of a twice baked potato.

    How to make Twice Baked Mashed Potatoes:

    Step one: Start by washing, partially peeling, and dicing potatoes. To give them recipe more of a twice baked potato taste I leave on some peel but that is totally optional.

    Step two: In a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and allow them to cook until tender. Once tender drain water out and then return to stove top on low heat.

    Step three: Gently mash potatoes with a potato masher. Add cream cheese and butter and use a potato masher to mash potatoes. Add in salt and pepper (add more or less to taste) and mix.

    Step four: Add half and half and mashed again. Until mixed together well.

    • Tip: This recipe is more of a mix between a baked potato and a mashed potato. If you want more of a mashed potato texture I would add more milk and whip the potatoes with an electric hand mixer.

    Step five: Place potatoes in a casserole dish and top with shredded cheese and cooked and crumbled bacon. Bake until cheese is melted.Remove from oven and top with green onions before serving. Enjoy!

    Storing Directions:

    These mashed potatoes are too good that you probably won’t have any leftovers, but just in case you do… make sure to properly cover with plastic wrap or transfer to tight sealed containers and place in the fridge. Mashed potatoes will typically last 3-4 days in the refrigerator as long as they are covered.

      Can you use 1% or 2% milk instead?

        Hi Melanie! For this recipe, you will bake at 350. Just long enough to get your cheese melted. I hope you enjoy it!
