Not a fan of buttermilk, so I used regular milk instead. The potatoes were still delicious and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor.

A bit too rich for my taste, but still good.

These mashed potatoes were easy to make and turned out perfect. I used russet potatoes and they were nice and fluffy. The bacon and buttermilk added a great flavor. I will definitely be making these again.

These mashed potatoes were a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The bacon and buttermilk added a delicious richness and tanginess. I also loved the crispy bacon bits on top. Will definitely be making these again.
