Prep: 25 minutes
Cook: 25 minutes
Serves: 8

• 3 lbs. Open Acres® Yukon Gold Potatoes (about 8 medium), unpeeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
• 1 container (8 oz.) Our Family® Sour Cream
• ½ cup Our Family® Unsalted Butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 tsp. Our Family® Salt

• 2 cups Our Family® Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1. In large covered saucepot, add potatoes and enough salted water to cover; heat to boiling over high heat. Simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
2. Drain potatoes well, then return to saucepot. Add sour cream, butter, salt and pepper. With hand mixer at medium-low speed, beat potatoes 2 to 3 minutes or until light and fluffy and few lumps remain; do not over mix. Fold in cheese and bacon. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
