Makes: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 lbs potatoes (I used a mix of red and Yukon gold), cleaned and chopped into 2-inch pieces
- ¼ tsp salt
- 6 Tbsp unsalted butter
- ½ cup 2% milk
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, plus more for topping
- Sour cream, for topping
- Chives, for topping
- 2 strips crispy bacon, crumbled
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover them completely with water.
- Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Add salt to pot and boil potatoes, uncovered, until they're fork tender, about 20-25 minutes.
- Drain potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Add butter, milk, and cheese to the potatoes and mash until incorporated.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Using a pastry bag, pipe mashed potatoes into 8 oz. mason jars. Alternatively, you could scoop potatoes into jars.
- Top mashed potatoes with sour cream, chives, crumbled bacon, and additional cheese.
Notes
- I prefer to leave the skin on my potatoes (for extra nutrients!), but you can peel potatoes if you prefer.
