Cheesy Mississippi Mud Potatoes

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Potatoes:
    • Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
    • Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, sour cream, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
  2. Assemble the Dish:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Transfer the mashed potatoes to a greased baking dish and spread them out evenly.
    • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes, followed by the crispy crumbled bacon.
  3. Bake and Serve:
    • Drizzle the barbecue sauce over the top of the cheese and bacon.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
    • Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired, before serving.

Recipe Variations:

  • For added flavor, mix chopped jalapeños or diced green chilies into the mashed potatoes.
  • Substitute different types of cheese, such as pepper jack or smoked gouda, for a unique twist on the dish.
  • Swap the barbecue sauce for hot sauce or ranch dressing for a different flavor profile.

Kitchen Equipment Needed:

  • Large pot
  • Potato masher or electric mixer
  • Baking dish
  • Mixing bowls

Storing Leftovers:

If you happen to have any leftovers (although it’s unlikely with a dish this delicious!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave or oven until warmed through before serving.
