  • 4-6 ounces full fat sour cream

  4. When the potatoes are done remove them from the heat.
  5. Add your butter to a large bow. Scoop your hot potatoes right on top of the butter and then mash them all up with a potato masher.
  6. When the potatoes are all mashed up stir in your cheese.
  7. Add your sour cream, bacon, and green onions and stir them all up.
  8. Add your salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator and reheat for later.
