Ingredients

4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter option)

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cooked crispy bacon bits (or vegetarian bacon)

1/2 cup green onions, sliced

1/2 cup broccoli florets, steamed

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

Cook the Potatoes: Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.

Drain and Mash: Once cooked, drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the potatoes until smooth.

Add Creaminess: While mashing, slowly incorporate the melted butter and heavy cream (or milk) until well blended. Stir in the sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, adjusting to taste.

Cheesy Delight: Once the potatoes are well combined, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts into the warm potatoes, creating a creamy texture.

Build the Bowl: In bowls, layer the cheesy mashed potatoes as the base. Top with crispy bacon bits, steamed broccoli florets, and a sprinkle of sliced green onions.

Garnish and Serve: Finish each bowl with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a fresh touch. Serve immediately while warm.
