Tips:
- When selecting potatoes for mashing, choose starchy varieties like Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes as they break down easily and create a smooth, creamy texture.
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of butter and olive oil to sauté the bacon and rosemary.
- Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
- Mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy, but avoid over-mashing as this can make them gluey.
- Season the mashed potatoes generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- For a crispy topping, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese or bread crumbs over the mashed potatoes before baking.
