Cheese And Bacon Mashed Potatoes

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375u00b0F. Place bacon on a slotted cookie sheet over a jelly roll pan to catch the grease, and place in the oven for 20-25 minutes until bacon is crispy.

2. 2

   While bacon is cooking, submerge potatoes completely in water. Add salt and boil for 20 minutes until potatoes are fork tender.

3. 3

   Once potatoes are fork tender, drain off the excess water and place them in a large bowl. Using a potato masher, add heavy cream, cream cheese, butter, garlic, salt and pepper to taste, and mash until you get a creamy consistency. (You may need to add extra heavy cream to get them to the desired fluffiness.)

4. 4

   Once potatoes are mashed, put in a baking dish, top with cheese and chopped bacon, and BROIL on high for 3-4 minutes until cheese is melted.
