Cheesy Garlic Mashed Potatoes With Mozzarella

Homemade mashed potatoes are one of my favorite side dishes. But with the addition of mozzarella cheese, crumbly bacon pieces, and garlic powder, these cheesy garlic mashed potatoes take the dish to a higher level on the tasty scale.

Gather ingredients!

01

Get everything prepped ahead of time.

Peel and cube your potatoes.

02

Cover with water and put that over medium-high heat to bring them to a boil.

03

Once potatoes are done, drain the water off.

04

Roughly mash the potatoes with a potato masher.

05

Then add milk, butter, salt, pepper, and garlic powder and mash together.

06

Add in your mozzarella and if you’re using bacon, add that now, too.

07

Enjoy!
