Author Notes
This dish can be made for a big holiday meal, or the day after using leftover mashed potatoes. Heck, it can be made any day at any time of the year! Mashed potatoes loaded with sour cream, cheddar, bacon and onions? Topped with crushed-up cheese crackers? Yes please, any day. —foxeslovelemons
