I discovered a new delicious version of mashed potatoes last night. I'm sure someone has discovered it before, but it was new to me. And it was delicious.
Oh, and it was delicious.
Here's what to use:
5 white potatoes
8 strips of bacon
1/2 of a yellow onion left over from double-cheesed it frito pie
3/4 cup whipping cream
grated Parmesan
Here's what to do:
Roughly peel and chop the potatoes; boil them until they're tender. Then drain them and put them back in the hot pot.
Meanwhile, chop up the bacon (I trimmed off most of the fat) and onion and saute those in a skillet together on medium heat until they're nice and brown.
Spoon them into the hot potatoes. Add cream and mash. : )
Then add some Parmesan. I used the grated green bottle that everyone always has on hand. I think they'd be reaaaaalllllly good with the expensive stuff. If you don't want the Parm, then add a few dashes of salt.
Give them a little taste and then do a twirl around the kitchen because you're a genius.
Then twirl again when you see the steaks that J just pulled off the grill.
And put them together and just let your eyes roll to the back of your head.
Enjoy!
