I made this for Thanksgiving to try something different than just plain potatoes. It was a huge hit!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This cheesy mashed potato bake reminds us of a loaded baked potato in casserole form. They're creamy, cheesy, and full of bacon and chives for flavor. Crispy fried onions on top add a nice crunch. Make this side dish for Sunday dinner or a special occasion. They're an easy way to jazz up mashed potatoes.
