Loaded Mashed Potatoes

We had our annual thanksgiving lunch at work this past week and i signed up for mashed potatoes even though i wasn't going to be in town this year. Every year it seems like i have plain, boring, mashed potatoes and i wanted to try something different this year to spice things up. I'm an avid Paula Deen Recipe follower and when i saw the loaded mashed potatoes recipe i just HAD to try it. They turned out lovely. Unfortuately i didn't take a picture, so you'll have to take my word for it. :) I of course modified the recipe like usual so here ya go...

Ingredients
1 head of garlic
1 large package of bacon (i used turkey but you can use regular)
1 (15 oz) container of sour cream
1 (12 oz) bag of  shredded cheddar cheese
1 Box of Family Size Hungry Jack Instant Mashed Potatoes
(Milk, butter, and salt according to the box)

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Cut the head off your garlic, wrap in aluminum foil, and roast for 30-45 minutes.
Prepare your instant mashed potatoes. I made 24 servings, but you could definitely cut down the size to 12-18 servings. Add your sour cream and the majority of your cheese to the potatoes. I left a little cheese out to sprinkle on the top but that's up to you. Stir well. Once your bacon is fried you can chop it up and add to the potatoes. Stir again. Then, when your garlic is nice and roasted chop up and add. Sprinkle leftover cheese on top. Goodbye boring mashed potatoes!!
