MASHED POTATOES WITH BACON & GARLIC



Mashed Potatoes with Bacon & Garlic image

In this recipe, you'll stir roasted garlic into creamy, ultra-rich mashed potatoes for incomparable flavor, then finish off the fluffy mound with a generous helping of crunchy bacon bits.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 head garlic
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
kosher salt
3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled
8 ounces bacon, cut into a small dice
3 cups half-and-half, or less, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Roasted garlic: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice off the top of the garlic head to expose the cloves; place in center of a sheet of foil. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the top and season generously with salt. Wrap in foil and bake in the oven until golden and tender, about 1 hour.
  • Potatoes: Cut peeled potatoes into ½-inch dice. (Note: Potatoes can be peeled and diced 1 day in advance. Store completely submerged in cold water in the refrigerator, changing the water every few hours to prevent browning.) Place diced potatoes into a pot filled with cold salted water (as "salty as the sea"). Bring to a boil over high heat, 6-8 minutes. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook until fork tender, 15-20 minutes.
  • Bacon bits: In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp and browned, about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer bacon bits to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve the bacon fat in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Return the pan to stove over low heat, and add just enough half-and-half to coat the bottom of the pan. Use a wooden spatula to deglaze the pan, scraping up all the browned bits (or "fond"). When small bubbles form around the edges of the pan, add the rest of the half-and-half. Stir until warmed through, then remove from heat.
  • Potatoes are done cooking when you can easily cut a piece in half with a fork. Drain potatoes in a colander, then add back to the pot. Turn heat to medium-low and let them dry, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 1-2 minutes. When the bottom of the pot is dry, turn off the heat: they are ready for the potato ricer. Transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Work all the potatoes through the ricer and back into the pot. Fold in half of the warm half-and-half and gently stir to combine; avoid overmixing the potatoes, which could lead to a gluey texture. Add another ½ cup of half-and-half, and stir again. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons reserved bacon fat, and stir to combine. Add more half-and-half as needed to reach desired consistency. Then season to taste with salt and pepper (keeping in mind that the bacon bits will also add salt).
  • Squeeze roasted garlic out of its skin into a small bowl, and use a fork to mash it into a paste. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to thin out the paste and continue mashing. Fold the garlic paste into the potatoes and stir to distribute evenly; then add half the bacon bits and gently stir to incorporate. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a warmed serving bowl, garnish with remaining bacon bits, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For a creamier texture, use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes.
  • To make peeling the potatoes easier, place them in a large pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Let boil for 1-2 minutes, then drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water. The skins will slip right off!
  • For a more flavorful mashed potato, use chicken broth or milk instead of water.
  • Add a tablespoon of butter or olive oil to the mashed potatoes for a richer flavor.
  • For a cheesy mashed potato, add a cup of shredded cheddar cheese or Parmesan cheese.
  • For a garlicky mashed potato, add a few cloves of roasted garlic.
  • For a mashed potato with a kick, add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
  • Garnish the mashed potatoes with fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or thyme.
