Decadent Twice Baked Potatoe Casserole

This is a favorite Thanksgiving side dish in my family and one of my own creation. It satisfies my wife's love of classic mashed potatoes and my need to amp the flavor and complexity of a ho hum standard. It also has the virtue of reheating and traveling well.

Here's the ingredient list: 3 lbs. peeled potatoes, 1 pint sour cream, 1/2 package bacon(fried crisp), 8 oz. sharp chedder cheese, one stick butter, 2 TBS. garlic powder, 1 TBS salt.

Boil peeled potatoes until fork tender. Drain potatoes and return to pan. Add butter and mash until well crushed but not smooth. Stir in sour cream, garlic powder, and salt then transfer to a casserole dish. Top with grated cheese first and then crumbled bacon. Bake at 350 degrees until hot and bubbly. Cool five minutes and serve.
