Roasted Garlic and Bacon Mashed Potatoes are a delicious and creamy side dish to add to the Thanksgiving table or any meal. Is there anyone on this planet who doesn’t like mashed potatoes? I don’t think so. Along with turkey‚ mashed potatoes are a must on the Thanksgiving table. Of course plain mashed potatoes are irresistible on their own‚ but these have heightened flavor from roasted garlic and bacon. Next to cooking mashed potatoes in a crockpot‚ these Roasted Garlic and Bacon Mashed Potatoes might be my favorite way to make mashed potatoes. The sweetness of the roasted garlic combined with the saltiness of the bacon makes them a stand out. Roasting garlic really mellows and sweetens its flavor and it is super easy to do. Which type of potatoes to use? I used russet potatoes‚ but you could also use Yukon gold potatoes. I think they make an even creamier mashed potato. Why are my mashed potatoes gluey? Overmixing the potatoes can make them develop a gluey texture as it can overwork the starch. This is more likely to happen if you are using an electric mixer. I prefer to use either a potato masher or a potato ricer. Drain the potatoes well. After you cook the potatoes‚ you’ll want to drain them well to prevent watery mashed potatoes. This year add some extra flavor to your Thanksgiving with Roasted Garlic and Bacon Mashed Potatoes. They go great with Cajun Roast Turkey or Crock Pot Turkey Breast.
