Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 strips bacon
1 ½ tablespoons pure maple syrup, divided
2 lb russet potato, peeled and cut into 2 in pieces (5 cm)
cold water, for cooking potatoes
1 tablespoon kosher salt, divided. plus 1 1/2 teaspoons
⅓ cup whole milk, plus more as needed
⅓ cup heavy cream, plus more as needed
1 stick unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate with tongs to drain, reserving the bacon grease.
  • Chop the bacon strips into pieces, then transfer to a small bowl and toss with ½ tablespoon of maple syrup. Set aside.
  • Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch (2.5 cm). Add 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and return to the pot.
  • Add the milk, heavy cream, butter, and reserved bacon grease to a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until the butter melts.
  • Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or ricer. Pour in the warm milk mixture and stir until smooth. Add the remaining tablespoon of maple syrup and remaining 1½ teaspoons of salt and stir to combine. Add more milk or heavy cream if the potatoes are too stiff.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a large serving bowl, top with the maple-coated bacon, and serve.
  • Enjoy!

I wouldn't make these mashed potatoes again. They were too bland and the maple bacon flavor was not very noticeable.

The bacon in this recipe adds a nice smoky flavor to the mashed potatoes. I also like that it gives them a bit of texture.

I love that this recipe uses real maple syrup instead of sugar. It gives the mashed potatoes a much richer flavor.

These mashed potatoes were a hit at my Thanksgiving dinner! They were creamy and flavorful, with just the right amount of sweetness from the maple syrup and smokiness from the bacon.
