Smoked Loaded Mashed Potatoes
INGREDIENTS
Filling
- 5 lbs of Yukon Gold (Yellow) Potatoes
cut into quarters (leave the peel on) - 1 cup Butter (melted/softened)
- ½ cup Cream Cheese, softened & cubed
- ¾ cup Heavy Cream
- ½ cup Sour Cream
- ½ cup Cheddar Cheese
- ¼ cup Unger Meats Bacon Bit Crumbles (par cooked)
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Toppings
- ½ cup Cheddar Cheese
- ½ cup Unger Meats Bacon Bit Crumbles
- ½ cup Green Onions
DIRECTIONS
- Wash potatoes and cut into cubes and boil until they are fork-tender.
- Drain water from the potatoes. Using a potato masher (not a hand mixer), smash the potatoes and then add butter, cream cheese and heavy cream. Mash until desired consistency.
- Add salt & pepper to taste and gently fold in sour cream, cheddar cheese and bacon crumbles. Don’t over mix it. You may still see some streaks of cheese and sour cream…all good!!
- Prepare your wood pellet smoker to 225 degrees F.
- Spread the mashed potatoes into a 12” Cast Iron Skillet. Place the skillet in the smoker and close the lid.
- Smoke for 1 hour. Remove from the smoker and top with Cheddar Cheese, Bacon Crumbles and green onions. Serve immediately.
