Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 6 slices Bacon
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Peel and chop the potatoes into 1-inch chunks for even cooking.
Step 2
Add the potato chunks to a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Step 3
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15–20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Step 4
While the potatoes are boiling, cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain and cool. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
Step 5
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Let them sit for a minute to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
Step 6
Add the butter to the pot with the potatoes and begin mashing them with a potato masher until smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Gradually stir in the buttermilk, adjusting the quantity as needed to reach the desired consistency.
Step 8
Fold in the fresh parsley, crumbled bacon, black pepper, and garlic powder. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed.
Step 9
Serve the buttermilk parsley spuds warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and extra bacon bits if desired.
