Ingredients For bacon and sage mashed potatoes

  • 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 Tbsp
    butter
  • 2 1/2 c
    shredded smoked gouda cheese
  • 4 slice
    bacon, fried until crisp (but not black)
  • 2 Tbsp

How To Make bacon and sage mashed potatoes

  • 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.
  • 5
    Add the butter and gouda and stir until incorporated and melted; do not over mix. If necessary, add more broth to attain the desired consistency but be careful not to make then too liquidy.
  • 6
    Stir in the bacon, sage and salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
