How to Make Bacon Scallion Mashed Potatoes Like Applebee's

Peel and quarter 2 lbs russet potatoes. Mince 2 cloves garlic.
In a large pot, combine potatoes, garlic, and enough lightly salted water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
While potatoes cook, cook 4 slices bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside on paper towels.
Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease from the skillet.
Add 1/2 cup chopped scallions to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened but not browned.
Add the cooked bacon to the scallions.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot.
Mash potatoes with 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
Stir in the bacon and scallion mixture.
Reheat gently if necessary before serving. Garnish with extra scallions if desired.
