Follow The Directions

01

Step
25 mins

Place peeled potatoes in a large pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until fork-tender, approximately 20-30 minutes.

02

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a 3-quart casserole dish with butter-flavored cooking spray. (2 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Drain the cooked potatoes well and return them to the pot. Add 1/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup milk. Using a potato masher or ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth. Season generously with salt and pepper. Adjust butter and milk to achieve desired consistency. (5 minutes)

04

Step
20 mins

Stir in sour cream and 1/2 cup of the shredded Cheddar cheese until well combined. Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading evenly. (3 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and lightly golden, about 20 minutes.

06

Step

Remove from oven and top with remaining Cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, approximately 5 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

For an extra layer of flavor, try using roasted garlic in your mashed potatoes.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyere or Monterey Jack.
If you don't have fresh chives, dried chives can be substituted, but use half the amount.
For a smoother consistency, use a potato ricer instead of a masher.
To make ahead, assemble the casserole and refrigerate (unbaked) for up to 24 hours. Add an additional 10-15 minutes to the baking time.
