Paleo Mashed Potatoes
an easy side dish, that pairs well with almost everything
Ingredients
- 3 Large Russet Potatoes cut in half
- 6 oz or 4-5 pieces of applewood smoked bacon chopped into bacon bits
- 4 Tablespoons salted butter I use Kerrygold
- 1 Tablespoon heavy cream optional
- 3 Tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- 1 ½ Teaspoons salt
- 1 Teaspoon white pepper
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill with water, until potatoes are covered. Bring to a boil, on high heat, and then lower to medium heat and cover the pot. Let potatoes boil for 25 minutes, or until fork tender.
- Drain the water from the pot. With a fork and knife, cut up the potatoes into smaller pieces in the pot. Add the rest of the ingredients, using a spoon to mix and mash the ingredient. Serve hot! These are great leftover too!
Notes
To cook the bacon: Lay the bacon on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil (for easy cleanup). Place the cookie sheet in a cold oven and then preheat oven to 400 F. The bacon should be perfectly crispy in 20 minutes.
