Directions
Mashed Potatoes With Bacon and Cheddar, I got this recipe out of the Martha Stewart Living Annual Recipes 2003 book It’s very tasty, and good enough for a week night side, or even good enough for a dinner party , I have never received so many compliments for a food dish before! I’m planning to bring to all BBQ invites!, I have made this a couple of times, but used cauliflower instead of potatoes I steam two 20 oz (2 5 lbs total) bags of frozen cauliflower until very tender, drain well and then puree in my food processor I proceed with the rest of the recipe using only 1/2 of the amount listed for each of the remaining ingredients called for and that still makes plenty for us Since this is so rich and not exactly healthy, I don’t make it that often When I do, it’s pure bliss!
