Categories     Potatoes

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 - large yukon gold potatoes or 5 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 - (14 1/2 ounce) cans chicken broth
3 tablespoon(s) butter
2 1/2 cup(s) shredded smoked gouda cheese
4 slice(s) bacon, fried until crisp (but not black)
2 tablespoon(s) finely chopped fresh sage

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes and enough broth to barely cover them in a large saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer just until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes, reserving the cooking liquid.
  • Return the potatoes and 1 cup of the cooking liquid to the saucepan and, using a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon, mash until smooth.
  • Add the butter and gouda and stir until incorporated and melted; do not over mix. If necessary, add more broth to attain the desired consistency but be careful not to make then too liquidy.
  • Stir in the bacon, sage and salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
