👨‍🍳 Instructions

Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes.

Drain the bacon slices on paper towels.

Place potatoes into a large pot of lightly salted water; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.

Drain potatoes and return them to the pot.

Mash butter into the potatoes with a potato masher or electric hand mixer until melted completely into the potatoes; add sour cream and continue to beat until combined.

Crumble bacon into the potato mixture; add Cheddar cheese and chives and stir.

Season potatoes with salt and pepper.
