Ingredients
- 2 pounds of large russet potatoes
- 1 cup of sour cream
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup of milk (more if needed)
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup of cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 cup of chopped green onions

Instructions
- Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into quarters. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a sprinkle of salt and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. This step helps to get rid of excess moisture.
- Add the butter to the potatoes and let it melt. Then, using a potato masher or a hand mixer, begin mashing the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency.
- Next, stir in the sour cream, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions. Mix everything together until well combined, and add salt and pepper to taste.
- If the potatoes seem too thick, feel free to add more milk until you reach the desired creaminess.
- Serve the Cowboy Mashed Potatoes warm, topped with extra cheese, bacon, or green onions if desired. Enjoy this delightful side dish with your favorite main course!
