Ingredients

3 pounds red potatoes (chopped, skin on)
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup salted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 TBS garlic paste
1 tsp salt (to taste)
1 tsp black pepper (to taste)
1/2 pound bacon (about 6 pieces, cooked and chopped)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tsp minced chives

Instructions

Add the washed potato pieces to a large pot and cover with water, to 1 inch above the potatoes. Bring the water to boil, then cook for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
Drain the water, and add the potatoes back to the pot, and smash the potatoes over low heat with a potato masher until they are mostly smooth.
Stir in the sour cream, butter, heavy cream, garlic paste, and salt and pepper.
Fold in the bacon pieces, cheddar cheese, and chives, and mix until combined.
Top with additional salt, pepper, and chives if desired.

Notes

**You can also serve these potatoes casserole style by scooping them into a 9x13 baking pan, spreading them out and topping with additional cheese. Cook at 350 F until the cheese is melted.
