Save these rich, decadent mashed potatoes for the coldest, dreariest winter day. Ingredients:
5 large yukon gold potatoes or 5 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces |
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chicken broth |
3 tablespoons butter |
2 1/2 cups shredded smoked gouda cheese |
4 slices bacon, fried until crisp (but not black) |
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage |
Directions:
1. Place the potatoes and enough broth to barely cover them in a large saucepan and bring to a boil.
2. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer just until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Drain the potatoes, reserving the cooking liquid.
4. Return the potatoes and 1 cup of the cooking liquid to the saucepan and, using a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon, mash until smooth. Add the butter and gouda and stir until incorporated and melted; do not overmix.
5. If necessary, add more broth to attain the desired consistency.
6. Stir in the bacon, sage and salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve immediately.
