Asiago Smashed Potatoes

With a title like that, I am not sure we need any additional commentary.  We just need a fork.

4lb red potatoes unpeeled, quartered
1 1/2 tsp. salt, divided
10oz. Asiago cheese, shredded
1/2 C. butter, cut up
1/2 C. milk
1/2 C. sour cream
1/2 C. sliced green onions
1/2 C. crumbled cooked bacon
1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper

Place potatoes in a large saucepan or Dutch oven; add enough water to cover.  Stir in 1 tsp. of the salt.  Bring to a boil over medium high heat.  Reduce heat to medium; boil 20 to 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with knife.  Drain well.

Return potatoes to pan. Add all remaining ingredients, including remaining 1/2 tsp. salt.  Mash potatoes with potato masher.
