Loaded Mashed Potatoes

Adapted from the twiced baked potatoes recipe. This is a great recipe to take to a potluck or if you want the same great taste as twiced baked potatoes, but don't have the time to scoop out the potato from all the potato shells.

4-5 large potatoes, cooked and mashed
1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 tsp dried minced onions
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Cook potatoes like you would for mashed potatoes. Pour all the water off of potatoes and pour potatoes into a large bowl. Add sour cream, milk, minced onions, salt, and pepper. Mix until fluffy with beaters but being careful not to overmix. By hand, stir in cheese and bacon -just before serving.
