Loaded Mashed Potatoes

This side potato dish is phenomenal, simply because it tastes like twice baked potatoes, but requires only about half the effort and time to prepare!

8 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup (4 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
2 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
1 teaspoon minced chives or green onions (optional)

Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water; cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain, transfer to a mixing bowl and mash. Add sour cream, butter, salt and pepper; beat until smooth and fluffy. Transfer to a greased 2-1/2 quart baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese, bacon, and chives or green onions (if desired). Bake, uncovered, at 325 for 20 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.

Yield: 8-10 servings.
