How to Make Baked Potato Squares

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups mashed potatoes, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish. Spoon the potato mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly.

Pour the sour cream mixture evenly over the potato mixture.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup cooked crumbled bacon evenly over the top.
