How to Make Cream Cheese And Chive Potatoes

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Wash and cut 2 lbs of potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Transfer the potatoes to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/4 cup milk, 2 tablespoons butter (melted), and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives.
Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the potatoes, ensuring they are well coated.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup bacon bits (cooked and crumbled) over the top.
Cover the baking dish with foil.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, stirring gently once or twice during baking, until the potatoes are tender and the sauce is bubbly.
Remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking to allow the top to brown slightly.
Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
