Ingredients
- 2 lb (1kg) potatoes
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp butter
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 oz (100g) streaky bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp chives chopped
Instructions
- Peel and slice the potatoes into large chunks then add to a large pot and add cold water.
- Season generously with salt then place potatoes over medium-high heat, bring to a boil and allow to cook until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Drain then add the butter, sour cream, salt and pepper and mash until smooth.
- Cook the bacon until crisp (I like doing this in an air fryer but you can bake the bacon or cook it in a large frying pan) then crumble/chop into small pieces.
- Stir the bacon and shredded cheese into the mashed potatoes with a generous tablespoon of chives. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary then serve.
