Number Of Ingredients 9

5 pounds unpeeled red bliss potatoes, or other thin-skinned potatoes, quartered
Coarse salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 to 2 cups buttermilk
6 cloves Roasted Garlic
8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water (about 8 cups), and add 2 tablespoons of salt. Bring to a boil, and cook until very tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well, and return to saucepan over low heat.
  • Add butter, buttermilk, roasted garlic, and bacon. Mash until smooth. Stir in parsley and green onions, and season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a good quality bacon. Thick-cut bacon will provide more flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the bacon. This will prevent it from getting crispy.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Season the mashed potatoes to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Top the mashed potatoes with the bacon and cheese before serving.

Conclusion:

Bacon and buttermilk mashed potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of bacon, buttermilk, and cheese creates a rich and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
