Awesome Mashed Potatoes Recipe!

Happy Tuesday All!

Over the weekend I was watching Iron Chef and I was inspired to make a mashed potato mixture - it was truly awesome! So I'm sharing my ingredients with you:

WHAT YOU NEED:
Lots of Potatoes (I used red potatoes but any kind will do)
Heavy Cream
Butter
Fresh Chives
Bacon
Onions
Sugar
Gruyere Cheese

WHAT TO DO:
Wash your potatoes, leave the skin on and boil them until they're soft
cut up your onions, microwave them for four-five minutes with butter then fry until golden brown - when golden brown, add a touch of sugar to carmelize
Cook up some bacon - but make sure you undercook to keep it soft - then cut into small-ish pieces (when cool)
Chop up some fresh chives

MIX :
mash up your potatoes with the skins still on
add in your carmelized onions, chopped chives, chopped bacon
add butter and heavy cream
*Mix this all up until potatoes are successfully mashed to your satisfaction

COOK:
Put this all in a baking pan and top with grated Gruyere cheese and put in the oven at about 400 - cook until everything is bubbling and the cheese is browned on top


You (and everyone else) will love this!

Next weekend I'm going to try blue cheese potatoes.... if it's good, I'll share the recipe!
