Potatoes Butter Milk Sour cream Cream cheese Shredded cheese Bacon pieces Chives Garlic Parsley Salt Pepper

Ingredients

Add potatoes and enough cold water to cover them into a pot. Bring to a boil and cook until you can easily stick a fork in them. Drain.

Mix together potatoes, milk, butter, cream cheese, sour cream, half of the shredded cheese, chives, garlic powder, salt, parsley and pepper together in a mixing bowl.

It is best to use a mixer (hand or stand mixer) to mix the potatoes with everything, but it's not required. You can use a masher, but a mixer will get it smooth with no large lumps.

Some small lumps are ok, but try to get large lumps out. Spread the potato mix into a 2.5 to 3 quart casserole dish.

Add remaining shredded cheese and bacon pieces to the top

Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes. It should be heated through and cheese melted.

Enjoy!
