This is another side dish that I made for my girlfriend for her birthday. Making mashed potatoes can be one of the easiest things to make. But when you add cheese, bacon, and green onion it turns it into a five star dish. Hope you enjoyed this dish half as much as I did.
This recipe was inspired by BE GREEDY EATS by Aaron Dodson on Pinterest.

Rob’s Opinion
I decided to start posting the different dishes and recipes that I cook during the week because one, I’ve been told I’m a pretty good cook. And two, I’m tired of finding recipes only to have to scroll through all of the unnecessary stuff to get to the ingredients and the steps to make the food. Not to mention the mountain of ads that pop up.
The recipes that I post on this blog are all recipes that I have cooked. So I will make sure I let you all in on what I do to the dish to enhance its flavors and truly make it one of a kind. If you enjoyed this dish, be sure to come back next week. Like always, if you have any questions leave a comment down below and I will do my best to answer it.
