2 pounds Idaho or Yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped cooked bacon
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh chives

Steps:

Put the potatoes in a medium pot, cover with cold water and add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring just to a simmer and cook the potatoes, uncovered, until tender, about 45 minutes. Drain.
Peel the potatoes and return them to the pot (if desired, pass them through a ricer or food mill after peeling). Mash the potatoes with the sour cream and butter using a fork or potato masher. Stir in the bacon, chives, 2 teaspoons salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
