Mashed Potatoes

When I first met Robert and invited him to dinner, I served him these potatoes…6 weeks later we were living together! Coincidence? Try ‘em and find out!

Level: Easy

Prep Time: 20 Minutes

Cook Time: 30-35 Minutes

Groceries:

6 Yukon Gold Potatoes, peeled and chopped
6 cloves garlic, peeled and left whole
1.5 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/2C sour cream
1/4C 35% cream
1/2C white cheddar cheese, plus a bit for garnish
1/4C bacon, diced and cooked
1/4C chopped green onion
Salt and pepper to taste

How to:

In a large heavy pot, boil the potatoes with the garlic in salted water until fork tender. Drain. Mash the potatoes together with the garlic. While still warm, mix in butter, sour cream, cream and the cheese, bacon and green onions. Season with salt and pepper.

You can make this dish the day before, just spread them in a casserole and refrigerate. Cover and reheat at 325 for about 25 minutes.

Tip: If the cheese, cream and sour cream are at room temperature, your potatoes will stay nice and fluffy
