Lobster And Bacon Mashed Potatoes

Scrub potatoes and place in a large pot. Add enough salted water to cover by at least 1 inch. Simmer, uncovered, over moderate heat until an inserted knife comes away easily, about 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and cool to handle.

While potatoes are cooling, cook bacon until crisp in a large saute pan over medium high heat. Add lobster. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until lobster is cooked through. Stir in chives. Remove from heat and reserve.

Bring milk to a boil. Remove from heat and reserve.

Peel potatoes. Pass potatoes through the finest grid of a food mill into a mixing bowl. Slowly stir in heated milk and butter. Fold in lobster mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
