2 pounds of red skinned potatoes, about 10 medium, baked
Olive oil
Kosher salt, to taste
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled, divided
1 (5 ounce) can of evaporated milk
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted and cooled
1-1/2 cups of shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
2 green onions, sliced, reserve a teaspoon for garnish
1 teaspoon of chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper, or to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Scrub potatoes, puncture each
with a knife to vent, toss with olive oil and salt and place
on a pan. Bake at 400 degrees F for 45 minutes or until
tender. Meanwhile, cook the bacon to crisp; set aside, chop
once cooled, reserving half for garnish; set aside. Set
potatoes aside until cool enough to handle, then slice in half
lengthwise, then into half rounds about 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick.
Place into a large bowl. Add 1 cup of the Cheddar cheese and
half of the bacon. Set aside a big pinch of the green onion
for garnish and add the rest to the potatoes; toss.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8
x 8 inch baking dish; set aside. Blend together the evaporated
milk, sour cream and melted butter. Add parsley, garlic salt
and pepper. Pour mixture over the potatoes and gently toss.
Use a potato masher to break down the chunks to desired
texture. Turn out into the prepared baking dish, cover and
bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes or until heated through.
Remove, top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded Cheddar
cheese, return to the oven, uncovered, until cheese is melted,
about 5 minutes. Garnish top with remaining bacon and green
onion. Serve immediately.
Cook's Notes- Double for a cookout, potluck or church supper.
Leftover baked potatoes are perfect for this, so if you're
already baking some, bake extra, or bake the potatoes ahead to
save time. Also good for smoked potatoes.
