Ingredients:

4 large russet potatoes, peeled and mashed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup sour cream
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
½ lb sausage, cooked and crumbled
¼ cup chopped green onions
1 egg, beaten
½ cup breadcrumbs

Instructions:

Prepare the Potato Mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Prepare the Filling:
In a separate bowl, mix the crumbled bacon, cooked sausage, and chopped green onions.

Assemble the Loaf:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the potato mixture into a rectangle on the parchment paper. Evenly distribute the bacon and sausage mixture over the potatoes. Carefully roll the potato mixture into a loaf, using the parchment paper to help shape it.

Coat and Bake:
Brush the loaf with the beaten egg, then sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top for a crispy crust. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.

Serve:
Let the loaf cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side of sour cream. Enjoy this cheesy, bacon-filled delight!
