By Nanatimesthree

Ingredients

• Cook:
• 2 strips thick-sliced bacon, diced
• 1 pound red-skinned potatoes, cubed
• Stir in:
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon chopped chives
• Salt and pepper to taste

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.
