Creamy mashed potatoes are topped with a savory compound butter made with crispy bacon and chopped chives—a delicious addition to your dinner table.

Serves 6–8

Instructions:

1. In a food processor, combine butter, bacon, and chives. Blend until smooth. Scrape onto a sheet of parchment, roll into a cylinder, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. Boil potatoes in a large pot filled with water over medium-high heat for 15–20 minutes or until fork tender.
3. Pour in melted butter, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Whisk until smooth and creamy, and season with salt and pepper.
4. Serve hot, and top with bacon butter.

Tip: Make the butter ahead of time and store refrigerated or frozen until ready to serve, or scrape into a fun seasonal jello mold.
