I was perusing Pinterest again last week (did I say perusing? I mean obsessing over!) and of course I ended up ogling a million different yummy recipes. But one in particular jumped out at me – Loaded Mashed Potaotes. By loaded, I mean really loaded, with cheese, bacon, more cheese, sour cream, more cheese… you get the idea right? Well I decided right there I simply must make it …even better I must adapt it into my own (originally I thought I’d adapt them to be a little bit healthier, but who am I kidding?).
Since I have a gathering at my house this month, which is brilliantly called “Friend’s Thanksgiving” I knew I needed to wow my friends with some new recipes – and this is my first choice! Every year my friends and I try to cook up some new dishes we wouldn’t ordinarily have seen at our family’s Thanksgiving, it’s fun I recommend it!
Anyway, back to the potato recipe. I decided to adapt the recipe I found from Taste of Home, with my own additions and alterations. So without further delay, give this Fully Loaded Mashed Potato Casserole a try this holiday season:
