Follow The Directions

01

Step

Assemble your ingredients and prepare for a culinary delight. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then crumble and set aside. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold, lightly salted water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. (20 minutes)

04

Step

Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Add the cold butter and mash until melted and incorporated. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Stir in the sour cream until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in most of the crumbled bacon (reserving some for garnish), shredded Cheddar cheese, and chopped chives. Season generously with salt and pepper. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with remaining bacon and chives. Serve immediately and enjoy this decadent side dish! (2 minutes)

For extra creamy mashed potatoes, use a potato ricer instead of a masher.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyere or pepper jack, for a unique twist.
Add a dollop of cream cheese for extra tanginess.
For a smoother texture, use an electric mixer instead of a potato masher.
