Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold salted water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until fork tender.

Drain the potatoes and return them to the warm pot. Mash with the butter, warm milk and sour cream until smooth.
Fold in the cheddar and half of the bacon. Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon into a serving bowl and top with a pat of butter, the rest of the bacon, chives and a crack of black pepper.
