Drain and return to stockpot. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth; adding salt, to taste, pepper, butter, garlic and sour cream. With a spatula stir in cheese and bacon. Add more salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve immediately.

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

im a potato fanatic and these are the best potatoes Ive ever had so far in my life. I used minced garlic over the 2 garlic... heads and peeling the potatoes was a pain but completely worth it. it was a huge hit and my friends couldnt get enough of it. they were gone so quickly. thanks so much!!!Read more

Great Flavor!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe this evening and it was a hit. My 21 mos. old daughter loved them. I cut the recipe in half though... because we are a family of three. This would be a great dish to make for the holidays with lots of family and friends around to eat them up!Read more

A delicious way to enjoy potatoes!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I adjusted this recipe to reflect my current contempt for bacon after cooking 10lbs of it in a very confined apartment, but... it was still amazing. I served these potatoes along with Tyler Florence's horseradish crusted prime rib and they were perfect! My husband is a huge mashed potato fan, and he relished every bite of them!Read more

Loved It!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This are fabulous!!! Everyone loved these potatoes for Christmas dinner! As for the saltiness other reviewers have... mentioned... just put as much salt as is thought it needs and one can always add more to it as one goes, that is what I did and do for all recipes! Also, I added another stick of butter for I did not think it buttery enough!Read more
