Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potatoes peeled washed and cut into 1" cubes
- 3 strips bacon
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/4-1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
- Cook potatoes in a pot of boiling lightly salted water until fork tender. (About 15-20 minutes) While potatoes are cooking fry bacon until crispy, cool slightly then crumble or chop, set aside.
- Drain potatoes, add in half of the bacon, green onions, cream cheese and 1/4 cup milk. Mash with potato masher or use a hand mixer until you reach desired consistency. If your potatoes seem a little stiff add in more milk. Taste for salt and pepper and adjust accordingly.
- Garnish with reserved bacon and chopped parsley, if desired.
