Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Bacon
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional)
Instructions
Peel and quarter the potatoes. Place them in a large pot with enough water to cover them. Add a pinch of salt and bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the potatoes simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, place the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, then crumble the bacon when cool enough to handle.
Once the potatoes are done, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the olive oil and mash the potatoes with a potato masher until smooth.
Over low heat, stir in the chicken broth and unsweetened almond milk, gradually adding each until the desired creaminess is achieved.
Mix in the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning according to taste.
Fold in the crumbled bacon, reserving some for garnishing.
Serve the mashed potatoes hot, garnished with additional bacon crumbles and chopped chives if desired.
