How to Make Bacon And Sage Mashed Potatoes

Place the quartered potatoes in a large saucepan. Add enough chicken broth to barely cover the potatoes.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 10-15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
Return the potatoes to the saucepan. Add 1 cup of the reserved cooking liquid and mash until smooth using a potato masher or electric mixer.
Stir in the butter and Gouda cheese until melted and fully incorporated. Do not overmix.
If the mixture is too thick, add more reserved cooking liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Gently stir in the crumbled bacon and chopped sage.
Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
