Ingredients

6 medium round red or white potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes or 4 medium russet potatoes (2 lb), peeled if desired, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 package (5.2 oz) soft garlic-and-herbs cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 to 1/3 cup half-and-half, warmed
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (6 oz)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
6 slices bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled (1/2 cup)

Steps

1

In 2 1/2-quart saucepan, place potatoes and enough water just to cover potatoes. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover; simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with fork. Drain; return potatoes to pan. Shake pan with potatoes over low heat to dry potatoes (this will help mashed potatoes be fluffier).
2

Meanwhile, heat oven to 350°F. Spray 1 1/2-quart casserole with cooking spray.
3

Mash potatoes in pan with potato masher until no lumps remain. Stir in garlic-and-herbs cheese, salt and pepper. Add half-and-half in small amounts, stirring after each addition (amount of half-and half needed to make potatoes smooth and fluffy depends on type of potatoes used). Stir in 3/4 cup of the cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon of the parsley. Spread in casserole. Sprinkle with remaining cheddar cheese and bacon.
4

Bake uncovered 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are hot and cheese is melted on top. Sprinkle with remaining parsley.
