Ingredients

3 large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
3 slices bacon, or more to taste
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon salted butter, softened
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup heavy whipping cream, or more as needed

Steps:

Place potatoes in a pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil; continue to boil until tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and let cool. Crumble or chop into small pieces.
Drain potatoes and mash in a bowl. Add Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, butter, salt, and pepper. Stir with a large spoon. Add cream until it is a nice consistency and to your liking.
