Homemade Loaded Mashed Potatoes

Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 36
• 10 lbs potatoes
• 1 pint heavy cream
• 1 (15 ounce) can chicken broth
• 1 lb sour cream
• 2 cups bacon, cooked & chopped
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 -8 green onions, washed & chopped
• 1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt (optional)

Recipe

• 1 wash the potatoes & green onions thoroughly, taking note to any and all darker spots on the potatoes (you don't want to serve "black eyes", they really taste awful!).
• 2 put the potatoes into a pot of water to boil, occasionally checking the potatoes for tenderness.
• 3 while the potatoes boil, cook the bacon to your liking (try to avoid crispy bacon at all costs!), dry the bacon, chop into small pieces and set it to the side.
• 4 chop the green onions into small pieces - do not mince!
• 5 when the potatoes are near being done, gently heat the heavy cream/chicken broth mixture (cold broth/cream mixture delays the entire cooking process).
• 6 when the potatoes are done, drain potatoes into a colander and start to flake away the skin, setting the skinned potatoes into a bowl.
• 7 mash potatoes, adding the warm cream/broth mixture in slowly, followed by the onions, bacon, cheese, butter, garlic powder, and salt.
• 8 stir thoroughly and enjoy!
