Lunch: Bacon and Onion Mashed Potatoes Recipe | MyRecipes

Recipe by Darcy Lenz Jazz up those mashed potatoes by adding in savory bacon and sliced onions for some out-of-this-world flavor.

Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds red potatoes, quartered
1/2 cup whole buttermilk
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 slices center-cut bacon
3/4 cup chopped white onion
1/2 teaspoon sugar
3/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped green onions

Instructions

Arrange potatoes in a microwave-safe dish; cover tightly with plastic wrap. Cut a 1/2-inch slit in plastic. Microwave at HIGH 8 minutes or until tender; transfer to a bowl. Microwave buttermilk in a microwave-safe cup 30 seconds; pour buttermilk and oil over potatoes. Mash until mostly smooth.
While potatoes cook, heat bacon in a skillet over medium heat; cook until crisp, turning frequently. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate; cool and crumble. Add chopped white onion and sugar to drippings in pan; cook 5 minutes. Stir bacon, onion, salt, and pepper into potatoes. Sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve potatoes immediately.
