Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Bacon
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and quarter the potatoes. Place them in a large pot with enough water to cover them. Add a pinch of salt and bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Step 2
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the potatoes simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Step 3
While the potatoes are cooking, place the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, then crumble the bacon when cool enough to handle.
Step 4
Once the potatoes are done, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the olive oil and mash the potatoes with a potato masher until smooth.
Step 5
Over low heat, stir in the chicken broth and unsweetened almond milk, gradually adding each until the desired creaminess is achieved.
Step 6
Mix in the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning according to taste.
Step 7
Fold in the crumbled bacon, reserving some for garnishing.
Step 8
Serve the mashed potatoes hot, garnished with additional bacon crumbles and chopped chives if desired.
