these were part of the Mother's Day menu...used sour cream instead of milk, left out the red onion (forgot about it), and Oscar Meyer Real Bacon Bits instead of frying bacon...omg, these are delish!!! Everyone raved...thanks! I don't want plain old mashed taters anymore after eating these!

I added another teaspoon of rosemary as I had a lot of potatoes and I didn't add the bacon; so I cooked down the garlic and onions in an extra virgin olive oil. These are delicious mashed potatoes

This was a real nice change from plain old mashed potatoes. I used yukon gold potatoes and fresh rosemary, minced. I used a little buttermilk and a 1/4 cup of butter. The potatoes were creamy and fluffy enhanced by the bacon bits and hint of fresh rosemary. The bacon really adds a lot of flavor to the potatoes as does the garlic. I added a little of the bacon grease to the mashed potatoes. All the flavors balanced well together. I served this with, "Incredible Cheesy Turkey Meatloaf," and "Browned Buttered Vegetables with Almonds", from this website.

Do NOT miss this one!! It's awesome! It's not specified to peel the potatoes, so I chose not to. went a bit heavy on the bacon & perhaps just a bit more rosemary. I left the texture a bit chunky. SO tasty & SO easy! Thanks.

I am giving this a 4 because I changed it a little. I didnt have bacon so I sauted the onion and garlic in half vege oil and butter. Im sure with the bacon it would deserve a 5! They were still good without the bacon. No gravy needed. Tons of flavor!

Pretty good, I made this with stuffed pork chops. They went well together. Not extraordinary though.

I thought these potatoes were FANTASTIC! My entire family disagreed. I'll admit young boys 9-4 are not the target audience for this dish so take the rating with a grain of salt. They gave it a one and I gave it a five. Used 2 big russets and made as written. If your family loves plan jane mashed potatoes like mine- they may not like this. But I did!!
