Ingredients
- 4 lbs white potatoes, peeled and chopped roughly shopping list
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened shopping list
- 1 cup finely chopped onion shopping list
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped shopping list
- 1 cup milk (approximately) shopping list
- 6 slices bacon (fried until crisp, then crumbled) shopping list
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat leaf parsley shopping list
- salt shopping list
- fresh ground black pepper shopping list
How to make it
- Place chopped potatoes in a large pot, cover with lightly salted cold water and bring to a boil; cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes, then return to pot.
- Meanwhile, while potatoes are boiling, heat 2 tbsp of the butter in a skillet; add chopped veggies and saute until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add veggies to cooked potatoes, along with the remaining butter. With a handheld potato masher, mash well.
- Slowly add milk, mashing well until potatoes reach desired consistency.
- Stir in crumbled bacon and parsley. Taste; add salt and pepper if needed.
- ***Please note that this is a forgiving recipe--use the amounts of butter and milk that you wish, and adding an extra potato won't throw it off. Also, the celery adds a great flavor, but if you want to leave it out add a little extra onion to make up the difference.
