I made mashed potatoes using red potatoes and I left some of the skin in, then I added sour cream and bacon bits and sprinkled cheese over the top. It was a huge hit!!

I made the cheese with bacon and I used yukon gold potatoes, it came out very dry but when I added milk and butter it turned quite gluey. Even then it still wasn't very moist. I'll try one of the other variations next time but I'll definitely skip this one.

While i was in North Carolina they had instant loaded mashed potatoes all we had to do was add water. There was sour cream, bacon bits, chives & i think a pinch of garlic that was in it. I'm in N.Y. and they do not have it here. It was so awesome i hope that this recipe works for me. I'll let you all know.
