Ingredientes

2 pound red-skinned potatoes, or 10 medium potatoes

1 tablespoon olive oil

Kosher salt, to taste

4 slice bacon, cooked and crumbled, divided

1/2 cup half & half

1 cup sour cream

1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled

2 green onions, sliced

1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

Instruções

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Scrub potatoes, pierce each with a knife. Place on a baking sheet lined with foil.

Toss the potatoes with olive oil and salt, bake for 45 minutes until tender.

Cook bacon until crispy, drain on paper towels. Crumble when cooled.

When potatoes have cooled enough to handle, slice in half, then into half rounds about 1/2 inch thick.

Place potatoes in a large bowl and toss with 1 cup of the Cheddar cheese, half of the bacon, and half of the green onions.

Butter an 8 x 8-inch baking dish.

Combine the half and half, sour cream, and the melted butter. Add the parsley, kosher salt, and pepper.

Pour the sour cream mixture over the potatoes and toss.

Using a potato masher, break down the chunks.

Place the potato mixture in the baking dish, cover with foil, and bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes.

Remove foil and top with remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese and bake for 5 minutes until the cheese has melted.

Garnish the top with remaining bacon and green onions.
