Description

Ingredients

• 2 lbs golden potatoes
• Salt
• 1 large bay leaf
• ¾ cup whole milk
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 2 Tbsp bacon grease
• 6 crispy bacon strips
• 1 Tbsp minced fresh dill weed
• 2 Tbsp minced fresh parsley
• Salt

Directions

• (I recommend cooking your bacon in the oven. Make sure to save the grease.)
• Bring a pot of water to boil while peeling the potatoes. Cut potatoes into large chunks. Cutting the potatoes will make it faster to cook and easier to mash.
• Add potatoes to the pot.
• Add bay leaf and some salt. Cook over medium heat until potatoes are cooked all the way through and starting to fall apart.
• Drain water out of the potatoes.
• Add butter, milk, bacon grease and some salt. Start mashing slowly and watch out for splatter. Mash until all smooth.
• Crumble crispy bacon strips and add them to the potatoes. Add minced herbs and fold it all into mashed potatoes. Taste to see if you need to add more salt.
