Super Loaded Mashed Potatoes

This is what I came up with when I was met with a demand for a fried chicken and potatoes kind of comfort food mood. I meant it when I said super loaded! The works! I adapted it from a recipe on the box of my favorite mashed potato flakes, Hungry Jack! Goes great with fried chicken, by the way. ;)
