Ingredients
3 lbs russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
3 tbsp unsalted butter
¾ cup whole milk (or more as needed)
½ cup sour cream
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain well.
In a small saucepan, warm milk, butter, and chopped rosemary over low heat to infuse the flavor.
Return potatoes to the pot and mash until smooth (or leave a bit chunky if you like texture).
Stir in sour cream, then gradually mix in the warm milk-butter mixture until desired creaminess is reached.
Fold in crumbled bacon, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Top with extra bacon and rosemary if desired. Serve warm.
