Ultimate Mashed Potatoes
from Campbell's Kitchen

Prep Time: 15 min. Cook Time: 20 min.

3 1/2 cups Swanson(R) Chicken Broth
5 large potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 7 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup light cream
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
2 tbsp. butter
3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (reserve some for garnish)
Generous dash ground black pepper

Directions:
Heat the broth and potatoes in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat
to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the
potatoes are tender. Drain, reserving the broth.
Mash the potatoes with 1/4 cup broth, light cream, sour cream, chives,
butter, bacon and black pepper. Add the additional broth, if needed,
until desired consistency. Garnish with the remaining bacon. Serves 6.

Kitchen Clip:
To add a little kick to your potatoes, add a whole peeled clove of
garlic to the simmering broth. Dispose of the garlic clove before mashing.
