Ingredients

6 Russet Potatoes - baked
½ tablespoon Parsley - dried
1 tsp. Black Pepper
1 ½ tsp. Kosher Salt
⅓ Cup Milk
⅓ Cup Mexican Crema Agria
4 Tbsp. Salted Butter
1 Cup Sharp cheddar Cheese Shredded
6 Strips of cooked bacon - chopped

Instructions

Begin by baking the potatoes as you usually would.
Once the potatoes are done baking, preheat the oven to 350°f, cut a slit down the center, scoop all the insides into a large mixing bowl, and discard the potato skins.
Combine the potatoes with the remaining ingredients and stir with a fork to completely mash and combine everything thoroughly.
Now, butter the inside of a 9x13 baking dish and spread the potato mixture evenly across the entire baking dish.
Top the potatoes with more shredded cheese and bake for 20 minutes.
If they need a bit more color on top, turn the broiler on but be careful to watch it closely. That will only take about 2-3 minutes.

Notes

If, for any reason, the top isn't as browned as you'd like, turn the broiler on but watch it carefully. This should only take about 2 minutes.

Feel free to use prepackaged real bacon bits instead of making your own if you are crunched for time.

Don't be afraid to experiment with the cheese you use in this recipe. Think how excellent a smoked gouda would be!

This recipe is easily scalable and is typically the first to go at family gatherings. So be sure you make enough...too much is never enough!
