Indulge in these creamy and cheesy Mississippi Mud Loaded Potatoes, packed with savory bacon and topped with bubbling cheddar for a comforting side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium-sized russet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes clean and pierce them several times with a fork. Bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack for about 45-60 minutes or until tender.
  2. While the potatoes are baking, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to create a roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Add in the sour cream, garlic powder, and half of the cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out a portion of the insides, leaving a bit of potato on the skin.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the scooped-out potato flesh, chopped bacon, green onions, and the cheese sauce you prepared. Mix until well combined.
  6. Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
  7. Return the loaded potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. Garnish the loaded potatoes with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Mississippi Mud Loaded Potatoes!

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of bacon and cheese to your preference.
  • You can add other toppings like jalapeños or different types of cheese for extra flavor.
