Mashed Loaded Baked Potato

I came up with this recipe on my own based on what I watched my mom do growing up. They're basically loaded baked potatoes, only mashed! The sour cream keeps the potatoes nice and creamy, so you can reheat them as leftovers - If you have any!!! (Measurements are approximate as they will vary according to taste).
