1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to three hundred fifty Fahrenheit and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

4. Mash potatoes with 1.5 cups cheese, evaporated milk, 1/2 cup green onions, sour cream, half the bacon, salt, and pepper.
5. Spread the mixture into the prepared dish and bake for 25 minutes.

Notes
Grate your own cheese from a block for the best melt.
Use evaporated milk instead of regular milk for a richer texture.
