The ingredients & instructions are listed below the video for measurements & directions. Please enjoy this webisode of Cooking with Kimberly:

Ingredients:

4 large potatoes – washed, peeled, 2 inch cubed
2 tsp salt – for boiling water
4 slices bacon
3 tbsp cream cheese
1 tbsp milk
freshly ground black pepper – to taste
sea salt – to taste
3 tbsp chicken stock
a few drops water or tea

Instructions:

Wash and clean potatoes.
Chop them into 2 inch cubes and put them in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer & allow to cook until fork or knife tender.
In the meantime, in a large frying pan, fry bacon and cook until crispy. * Tip: Add a few drops of tea or water to the pan to reduce curling edges while cooking.
Strain the potatoes, and return to the pot.
Add cream cheese, milk, pepper, salt, and stock. Mash well.
Remove bacon from the pan & cool slightly. Once it has cooled enough for you to touch it with your fingers, crumble the bacon.
Add bacon to the mashed potatoes and stir quickly.
Serve immediately.
