Preparation

Step 1

Cook bacon until crisp. Let cool and then chop into small bits.

Halve the potatoes and place in a medium pot with water to cover. Bring water to a boil, season with salt, and cook potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes and return to hot pot. Mash potatoes with buttermilk, chives, and cheddar, then add salt and pepper to taste. Fold in bacon.
