Loaded Mashed Potatoes

I love mashed potatoes. It's seriously my most favorite form of potato and I'm convinced that my grandma makes the best on this planet. I don't know how she manages to make them taste so darn good, but they are to die for.

When I found this recipe on Pinterest I KNEW it was going to be love. Boy, oh, boy was I right! I coupled them with a previous recipe I posted, Honey Butter Pork Tenderloin.
