Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 pounds red-skinned potatoes (4 to 5 medium), chopped
Kosher salt
4 slices bacon, chopped
1 stick salted butter, cut into pieces, at room temperature
2/3 to 3/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Shredded cheddar cheese, for topping

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Season generously with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until very tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 7 to 8 minutes; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Drain the potatoes and return to the saucepan over low heat; cook until any remaining water evaporates, about 2 minutes. Add the butter, then gradually mash in the sour cream with a potato masher. Stir in the bacon and chives, reserving 1 tablespoon of each. Transfer to a serving dish; top with cheddar and the remaining bacon and chives.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my potatoes didn't turn out as good as I expected. They were a little dry and the bacon was too crispy.

These potatoes are so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can make them ahead of time and just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to eat.

I'm not a big fan of bacon, but these potatoes were still amazing. The cheese and potatoes are a perfect combination.

OMG! These smashed potatoes are the bomb! The bacon and cheese combo is a match made in heaven, and the potatoes are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I'll definitely be making these again and again.
