Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    While the potatoes are cooking, in a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

  3. 3

    Prep the Garlic

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Jalapenos

    Chop the jalapeno and set aside. If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds.

Mixing and Mashing

  1. 5

    Drain and Mash

    Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and return to the pot. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until smooth.

  2. 6

    Add Ingredients

    While the potatoes are still warm, add the butter, sour cream, sautéed garlic, crumbled bacon, gouda cheese, cheddar cheese, chopped jalapenos, salt, and black pepper. Stir until everything is well combined and the cheeses are melted.

  3. 7

    Finish with Chives

    Fold in the chopped chives for added flavor and color. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
