Preparation

Step 1

Cook bacon until crisp; transfer to a paper-towel lined plate.

Cook potatoes in a pot of boiling salted water until fork-tender; drain and return to pot. Cook potatoes over medium heat, stirring to remove excess moisture, 1 minute.

Stir in cream and butter, crushing potatoes with a potato masher until they reach desired consistency. Stir chives and bacon into potatoes; season with salt and pepper.
