Oh boy this is one of my top spoon face stuffing comfort foods, I just eat this all on its own! Buttery Idaho or Yukon gold mashed potatoes with way to much butter, double cream and a splash of vinegar, then loaded with crispy sweetcure bacon, mexi mix cheese and just a smattering of spring onions to balance the goodness 🤣
Prep time 10 minutes / Cooking time 30 minutes
Ingredients
(serves 4)
1 kg Idaho potatoes peeled and rough chopped
1 453g tub Philadelphia cream cheese
2 sticks of butter
1/2 tsp Himalayan sea salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
12 rashers natural un smoked sweetcure bacon
4 spring onions finely chopped
300g 4 mix Mexican cheese
Dirty Loaded Mashed Potatoes
Place the potatoes in a large pan of cold water with a generous pinch of salt, bring to a simmer and cook until fork tender around 20-30 minutes. Cook the bacon crispy, chop and reserve to one side along with the chopped spring onions. When the potatoes are fork tender drain and leave to steam in the colander for 5 minutes, place back in the pan on the lowest heat, add the butter and cream cheese, salt, pepper and apple cider vinegar, mash to a smooth consistency leave on the lowest heat for a couple of minutes to ensure the mash is served piping hot.
To Finish Loaded Potatoes
Mix half the Mexican cheese, bacon and spring onions into the mashed potatoes, stir to combine, serve the potatoes on to a platter then top with the remaining cheese and bacon, pop under the grill/broiler for a few minutes just to melt the cheese, remove and sprinkle over the remaining spring onions.
