How to Make Mashed Potato Skins
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Arrange 4 slices bacon on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until crisp. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Chop bacon into small pieces.
- While bacon cooks, place 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and quartered, in a medium saucepan. Cover with cold water and add 1 teaspoon salt.
- Bring water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
- Return potatoes to the saucepan. Add 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mash until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the chopped bacon.
- Transfer mashed potato mixture to an oven-safe baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and lightly browned on top.
