Cheddar and Chive Mashed Potatoes




Source of Recipe


oprah


List of Ingredients




2 pounds (about 5 to 6) Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 cup heavy cream, brought to a boil and kept warm
6 Tbsp. butter, softened to room temperature
Salt and cracked black pepper
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/3 cup chopped chives, additional for garnish
4 slices bacon



Recipe



In a large saucepan place, cover the chopped potatoes with cold water and bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and cook until potatoes are very tender when stabbed with a fork, about 15 minutes. Drain well. Return to the saucepan and add the cream and butter. With a hand mixer, blend until just smooth (do not over-whip).

Fry the bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels. When cool enough to handle, crumble into 1/4-inch pieces, set aside. Add 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and the chives. Garnish with the remaining cheddar cheese and additional chives and bacon. Season generously with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
