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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
