Instructions

  1. Microwave potatoes until fork tender (you could also steam or boil the potatoes as well).
  2. With a masher, smash potatoes a little (I leave the skins on, but feel free to remove them, if you like). Add light butter, and smash a little more. Be careful not to overmix, or potatoes will become glue-y.
  3. Add milk and stir or mash into potatoes. Stir in sour cream, bacon bits and chives. Add salt and pepper, if desired.
  4. Rewarm for about 45 seconds in the microwave, and serve.
