Potatoes cut and peeled (you can leave skins on if desired) • Sour Cream • Milk • Butter • Bacon cooked and crumbled (you can also use about 5 oz. bacon bits if you are looking for simplicity) • Green Onions finely chopped • shredded cheddar cheese (I like to use sharp cheddar) • Salt and Pepper to taste ( I like to use a lot of both!)
