Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (F).
2 In a large skillet over medium-heat, cook the bacon, turning frequently, until
crispy, about 5 to 6 minutes. Drain on a paper towel lined plate, then transfer
to a cutting board and chop into small bits. Set aside until needed.
3 Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water, so that it’s
1-inch higher than the potatoes. Place over high-heat and bring to a rolling
boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the
potatoes are very tender.
4 About 5 minutes before the potatoes are done cooking, combine the milk, heavy
cream, and butter in a small saucepan. Place over low heat and warm until the
butter is completely melted. Keep over low heat until needed.
5 Drain the cooked potatoes, then return them to the hot pot. Pour in the warm
milk mixture and sour cream. Using a potato masher, mash until smooth, being
sure not to over mash, which can cause gluey potatoes.
6 Add in 1 and ¼ cups of the cheddar cheese and three-quarters of the bacon and
gently stir, just until combined.
7 Scrape the mashed potato mixture into a large skillet or 9x13–inch baking dish.
Sprinkle remaining bacon and cheddar cheese on top and bake for 10 minutes, or
just until cheddar is melty but not crisp or burnt.
8 Sprinkle with chives! Scoop and serve!
