Cheese & Bacon Mashed Potatoes Nutrition and Calories
At 350 calories the loaded mash carries more than double the plain potatoes’ 160 — the cheese and bacon add 190 calories, 15 grams of fat and 760 mg of sodium. What they also add is protein: 16 grams, the highest of any side on the menu. The sodium (1,120 mg) is the figure to keep in mind if the rest of the plate is salty too.

What to Pair With the Cheese & Bacon Mashed Potatoes
Grilled Pork Chops are the plate to upgrade. The bourbon-glazed chops are lean enough (650 calories) to leave room for a loaded side, and cheese-and-bacon mash under a glazed chop is a strong combination.
A Top Sirloin Steak with loaded mash is the steakhouse build. The steak itself is one of the leaner entrées (from 250 calories for the 6 oz), so the side can do the indulging.
Country Fried Chicken already comes gravy-covered and rich — pairing it with the loaded mash makes the full comfort plate. Order it when nobody at the table is counting anything.
Mashed Potatoes, Loaded Up: What the $1.49 Adds
Side by side, the two mashes tell the story. Plain Idaho Mashed Potatoes: $2.99, 160 calories, 3 grams of protein, 360 mg of sodium. Cheese & Bacon Mashed Potatoes: $4.48, 350 calories, 16 grams of protein, 1,120 mg of sodium. The $1.49 buys you the cheese-and-bacon flavour and turns a plain side into something closer to a small dish. Pick the plain mash when the entrée is already rich (fried chicken, country fried steak) and the loaded mash when the entrée is grilled and lean and the plate needs its moment.
Nutrition and Allergen Considerations
At 350 calories with 1,120 mg of sodium, this is one of the two heaviest potato sides — plan the rest of the plate accordingly. On allergens: the official allergen guide does not print a standalone row for this item; it covers it as the “Add Cheese & Bacon” option under Idaho Mashed Potatoes, flagged there with the guide’s Grilled cooking marker plus soy and dairy (milk). Cheddar’s warns that its kitchens use shared cooking and preparation areas, so cross-contact can occur. It cannot guarantee that any menu item is completely free of allergens.
