Jalapeno Popper Mashed Potatoes image

I wanted to make mashed potatoes with a spicy kick, and since we had a lot of jalapenos and cream cheese needing to be used up, and because we love jalapeno poppers, I came up with this recipe. The fiance ate 3 servings and asked me to make this every time we have mashed potatoes! They were a little spicy but they were the best mashed potatoes I've ever eaten!

These mashed potatoes are amazing! The jalapeños give them a nice kick, and the cream cheese makes them extra creamy. I will definitely be making these again.

I tried this recipe last night and it was delicious! The potatoes were creamy and flavorful, and the jalapeños added just the right amount of heat. I also loved the crispy bacon bits on top. This will definitely be a new favorite in our house.

These mashed potatoes were a hit at our last potluck! I loved the unique flavor that the jalapeños and cream cheese added. The potatoes were also nice and fluffy, and the bacon bits added a nice touch of crunch. I would definitely make these again.
