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 Shredded Sharp cheddar Cheese (plus extra for topping)
  • 6 Strips of cooked bacon - chopped

Instructions

  • Begin by baking the potatoes in the oven at 400°F for about an hour. While those are in the oven, cook the bacon in a skillet or pot until crispy. Set aside on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
  • Once the potatoes are done, bring the oven down to 350°f. Cut a slit down the center of the potato, 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, grease the inside of a 9x13 baking dish and spread the potato mixture evenly across the entire 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 as it will only take 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!
