Ingredients

4 slices bacon, or more to taste
3 pounds potatoes, or more to taste, peeled and cut into chunks
½ cup butter, cut into pieces
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
½ chopped fresh chives (Optional)
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp and browned, about 10 minutes; drain on paper towels.
At the same time, place potatoes into a large pot of lightly salted water and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain well and return potatoes to the pot.
Mash butter into the potatoes using a potato masher or electric hand mixer until well combined. Add sour cream and continue to mash or beat until combined. Crumble bacon into potato mixture; stir in Cheddar cheese and chives. Season with salt and pepper.
