  • Drain the potatoes well before mashing. This will prevent the mashed potatoes from being watery.
  • Use a potato ricer or food mill to get the smoothest mashed potatoes.
  • Add the butter, milk, and cream cheese while the potatoes are still hot. This will help them melt and blend smoothly.
  • Season the mashed potatoes to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Stir in the bacon, cheddar cheese, and chives just before serving.
  • For a crispy topping, sprinkle the mashed potatoes with panko breadcrumbs and bake them in a hot oven for 10-15 minutes.
