This is the absolute best ever potato side dish ever created! So simple and sooooo delicious Ingredients:
5 medium to large idaho russet potatoes |
1/2 cup milk |
3/4 cup sour cream |
6 strips of bacon |
1 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese |
2 tbsp chopped chives |
salt & pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Boil water in a medium pot.
2. Wash potatoes thoroughly.
3. Keep skins on and chop potatoes into 1 inch chunks.
4. Add potatoes to boiling water, cover and let cook for about 20 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, fry up 6 strips of bacon and let cool.
6. Chop up the bacon in to small bite size pieces and put aside.
7. Test the potatoes by taking one chunk out and lightly mashing it with a fork. If it doesn't take a lot of strength to mash it then they are done.

10. Add the cheese and mash it till blended into the potatoes.
