Loaded Mashed Potatoes are creamy and full of everything you would find in a baked potato. Bacon, sour cream, and cheese are in this yummy casserole.
LOADED MASHED POTATO CASSEROLE
This recipe was sent to me by friend Wendy. I tweaked it a little bit but they are so good!
They were so good and a different alternative to normal potatoes and the ultimate comfort food. They are creamy, savory, and just like eating a loaded baked potato. Or in this case 7 loaded baked potatoes.
INGREDIENTS
- POTATOES– Russet Potatoes are what I like to use. You can also use Yukon Gold potatoes.
- SOUR CREAM– Makes the potatoes nice and creamy.
- BUTTER– Classic ingredient in any mashed potatoes.
- CREAM CHEESE –Gives them the creamiest texture.
- MILK– Makes them fluffy.
- NUTMEG– I know it sounds weird but nutmeg adds an element of sophistication.
- GARLIC SALT– Adds garlic flavor and savory tones.
- CHEDDAR CHEESE– Who doesn’t love cheesy potatoes.
- BACON– Crispy bacon on top.
- GREEN ONIONS– These aren’t required but if you want that onion flavor, they do the job.
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven 350 degrees and spray a 9×13 baking dish.
Peel, quarter, and boil potatoes in a large pot for 15-20 minutes or until soft and fork tender. Drain potatoes and slightly mash with a potato masher. Stir in the cream cheese, sour cream, milk, butter, garlic salt, and nutmeg.
Beat at a medium-high speed until nice and creamy. Do not overwhip. Add salt and pepper to taste keeping in mind that the cheese and bacon will add a little salt later.
Spoon into prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle top with cheddar cheese and bacon. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until cheese melts.
MAKE AHEAD INSTRUCTIONS:
You can make these ahead of time up to the point of adding the mashed potatoes to the casserole dish. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to three days.
To reheat: Bring potatoes to room temperature for 30 minutes. Add the cheese and bacon and bake as directed.

Your blurb talks about green onions and I feel like I made this a couple years ago with the green onions, but I don’t see it anywhere in your ingredients or instructions. Where do you add the green onions and how much?
-
Christy Denney — Reply
Sarah, you are totally right! How did that get in there. There are no green onions in this recipe but you could add some on top for color.

I LOVE these potatoes and my family does too! My only complaint is how long it takes to make between washing, peeling, cutting, and boiling the potatoes prior to making the casserole (but then again I am the queen of easy meals and most of the time I won’t make something unless it takes less than 20minutes). But this casserole is worth it!

Do you know if you can make these ahead, and then bake? Just wondering if you ever tried it. Made them last year for a holiday meal and everyone loved it!

I am 9 weeks pregnant and my current craving is potatoes. We made this last night (added chopped chives after it cooked) and I fell in love. So did my entire family! (Back off my potatoes!)

This looks delish! Have you ever tried using potato flakes? Around our house that is generally a dirty word, but I’ve found a great new brand, tasty, and pure…no additives.
I sure enjoy your blog. Happy Easter!
