Bacon Cheddar Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients
  • 4 slices bacon, or more to taste
  • 3 pounds potatoes, or more to taste, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
  • 8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 chopped fresh chives
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary components for preparation.
2
Preheat a substantial skillet over medium-high heat, insert the bacon within, and cook until it reaches a crispy state and has an appealing brown color, approximately 10 minutes; transfer the cooked bacon to paper towels for drying.
3
Concurrently, immerse potatoes into a large container of lightly salted water and initiate boiling; decrease the heat to medium-low and allow potatoes to become tender, roughly 20 minutes. Remove excess water and return the potatoes to their original container.
4
Combine mashed butter into the potatoes using a robust utensil such as a potato masher or an electric hand mixer until they are thoroughly blended. Introduce sour cream into the mixture and continue mashing or beating until everything is well combined. Incorporate crumbled bacon into the potato mixture; stir in Cheddar cheese and chives to achieve a harmonious blend. Season with salt and pepper for optimal flavor.
