Everything is better with cheese and bacon, and this Cheddar & Bacon Mashed Potatoes recipe is no exception. Are the potatoes great on their own? Yes. The potatoes cook in Swanson® Chicken Broth, so they're seasoned during cooking, then mashed with cream and butter. Delicious. But. Add tangy Cheddar and crisp, smoky bacon and you've got mashed potatoes with a loaded potato twist that you will need some serious willpower to resist. You can make these for the holidays, but they're so to make, you can enjoy them on a busy weekday, too. Maybe on a day when you really want some comfort food? Treat yourself!
Step 1
Heat the broth and potatoes in a 3-quart saucepan over high heat to a boil, then cover and cook (still on high) for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Step 2
Drain the potatoes, reserving the broth.
Step 3
Mash the potatoes with the cream, butter, cheese and bacon. If needed, add some of the reserved broth until the potatoes reach desired consistency. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
