Bacon Mashed Potatoes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What You Need

4 extra large potatoes that are cut and boiled soft and drained

1 stick of butter

8 oz cream cheese

8 oz sour cream

2 tablespoons of heavy cream

1/2 tsp. of salt

6 slices of cooked bacon (I just cook mine in the microwave when I am out of time).

Preferably a hand-held electric mixer, but a potato masher will also work

What to Do:

1. Put all ingredients (except for the bacon) into the pot with the potatoes.

2. Use your hand-held electric mixer (or your potato masher) to mash the potatoes and incorporate the ingredients. If you use an electric mixer, note that it is possible to over-mix the mashed potatoes, stop mixing once you get the consistency you like for mashed potatoes.

3. Use a pair of scissors to cut the bacon into small pieces right into the pot with the mashed potatoes.

4. Fold the bacon in with a large spoon.
