Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel potatoes, and cut into 1-inch chunks. Place in a large saucepan, and add enough cold water to cover by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and reduce to a simmer. Cook until tender and easily pierced with a paring knife, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a colander to drain; return to pan, cover, and set aside. 2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon, and cook until crisp and browned, turning once. Transfer to paper towels to drain; let cool, and crumble into pieces. 3. Using a fork, mash the potatoes in pan until light and fluffy. Add the cream cheese, butter, and sour cream, and stir until combined and smooth. Add the chives, 2 cups cheddar cheese, half the bacon, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined. 4. Transfer to a buttered 3-quart baking dish. Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese. Bake until top is slightly golden and potatoes are heated through, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven; garnish with remaining bacon. Serve immediately.

Cream cheese cold or soft?
Can the cream cheese be cold or should it be softened?

This is an amazing dish!!
This is an amazing dish!! Thank you for sharing. I made it with Roasted Chicken tonight and even my 2 year old grandbaby devoured it!!
So good!
I found this recipe on Pinterest and made it for a New Year's Eve pre-party potluck (ha) and everyone LOVED it! I skipped the cream cheese at the insistence of my husband and added a bit of milk instead. I was worried it wouldn't be rich enough, but it definitely was. Thank you!

Kids couldn't get enough!!!
Made this tonight with a tri-tip. Was absolutely delicious. I threw measuring out and just eyeballed it. To make life easier I used real bacon crumbs that I had in the fridge. I also skipped the salt. It was absolutely amazing. My family was burning their tongues cause they couldn't wait for it to cool before devouring!
Thank you, thank you!
Delicious!
I found this recipe on Pinterest and pinned it because it looked so yummy. I made this for Thanksgiving dinner and it was so delicious. I received a lot of compliments! Thanks so much!
SO GOOD
Though SO HEAVY!!! I would cut back a 1/2 c, if not more cheese...Like I said SO GOOD, and I knew it was going to be salty, so I cut it down with turkey bacon...still very filling. worth the hour prep!!
Thanks!
This sounds amazing! I may have to add this to my holiday menu.

I'm making this to go with tea tonight. I hope it tastes as good as it looks!
Great!
I came upon this blog via Pinterest. This looks great! Thanks for sharing!
Cut the Salt and these are PERFECT!
I cut the potatoes in half which should still be plenty for a family of 4-6 people... Maybe even 8. However with cutting the potatoes to approx 2.5 lbs, I only cut SOME of the other ingredients. Ultimately, these were DELISH but the salt can be cut out completely. The end result was just too salty for my palate. ENJOY!!!
