Chop 1/4 cup of onion.

Move the cooked bacon to a paper towel lined bowl, leaving the grease in the pan.

Add 1/2 cup of chicken stock, chopped potatoes, and chopped onions to the pan with the bacon grease.

Cover and microwave for about 10 minutes.

Stir halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.

Once softened, add 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of ground black pepper to the potatoes.

Mash the potatoes until smooth and well combined.

Add cheese to the potato mixture and stir.

Transfer the mixture to the oven at 350°F for 8 minutes to melt the cheese.

Once out of the oven, add the bacon back into the mixture.
