Ingredients:  
6 slices bacon

3 lbs. potatoes

2 tsp. salt (or to taste)

1 cup sour cream

1 stick butter

2 ½ cups milk

2 tablespoons heavy cream

½ tsp. white pepper

2-3 green onions, chopped

2 tablespoons chives (optional)

1 small leek, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese (optional)
Directions:
Directions:
Slice the meat into ¼ inch pieces.

Carefully wash and chop the leeks, discarding the top few inches (the toughest green part).

Peel and mince the garlic.

Slowly sauté these ingredients in 1 tablespoon butter. Place in skillet on low heat for 5-10 minutes, then on medium-high until golden and crisp. (Add garlic last and do not allow to brown).

Wash, peel and slice potatoes into quarters. In a saucepan cover potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Add 2 teaspoons salt to water and reduce heat to a simmer, continuing to cook until tender (about 40 minutes). Drain and return potatoes to saucepan, mash potatoes in the still-hot pan while adding chunks of the butter. When the butter melts, stir in the sour cream.

Pour in the cream and milk; add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with chopped chives and/or scallions, and optional cheese, if desired.
