    LOADED POTATO POTLUCK FAVORITE

    This is the creamiest potato recipe I have ever made. In all my years growing up, watching my Memaw add evaporated milk to her recipes, I never put the two together. It was the secret ingredient that wasn't really a secret at all. Memaw knew; she kept several cans of evaporated milk in her pantry year round.

    HERE'S ALL IT TAKES

    Makes 16 servings.
    8 medium potatoes (about 2 1/2 to 3 lb. total), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
    1 cup evaporated milk

    1/2 cup sour cream
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
    2 cups (8-oz. pkg.) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
    6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled, divided
    Sliced green onions (optional)
    Place potatoes in large saucepan. Cover with water; bring to a boil. Cook over medium-high heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender; drain.

    Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease 3-quart casserole dish.

    Return potatoes to saucepan; add evaporated milk, sour cream, salt and pepper. Beat with hand held mixer or mash by hand until smooth. Stir in 1 1/2 cups cheese and half of bacon. Spoon mixture into prepared casserole dish.

    Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through. Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese, remaining bacon and green onions. Bake for an additional 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.

    COOK'S NOTES
    This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated. Cover with foil and bake at 350ºF for 40 to 45 minutes or until heated. Uncover; top with cheese, bacon and green onions; bake for an additional 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
