Equipment

Potato Masher
8x8 baking dish

Ingredients

32 ounces russet potatoes (cooked, 4-5 small potatoes and 3-4 large potatoes)
1/2 cup heavy cream (1:1 with milk)
8 tablespoon butter (melted)
1/4 cup chives (chopped)
salt & pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
8 slices bacon (chopped)

Instructions

To start, choose how you want to cook your bacon. I prefer oven baked bacon but you can always pop it in the air fryer if the oven is tied up.
Preheat the oven to 375F. Pierce each potatoes with a fork to allow some steam to escape. Place on a sheet pan and bake for 1 hour. You will need more time for large potatoes.
Now, when the potatoes are done they should be soft to the touch and easily pierced with a fork. Allow them to cool enough for you to handle them in your bare hands.
Then, slice the potatoes the short way and use a spoon to scoop out the inside and weigh out 32 ounces as in the video.
In a small pot, heat up 1 stick of butter and allow it to melt all the way. Pour the heavy cream in with the butter and remove it from the heat. You are doing this so you do not add cold ingredients into the potatoes before mashing.
Add the butter and heavy cream into the potatoes and use a potato masher to bring everything together. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Then, chop up some fresh chives or you can use dried chives as well and add them into the mashed potatoes.
In a 8x8 baking dish, add the mashed potatoes and spread them out evenly. Top with shredded cheese and bacon. Place back into an oven preheated to 400F now.
Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese has melted. Remove and allow to cool about 15 minutes before serving.
