Mashed Sweet and Red Skin Potatoes with Bacon

Mashed sweet and red skin potatoes with bacon

Thanksgiving may be over, but there are more holiday meals to come. And, these mashed sweet and red skin potatoes with bacon are one standout side dish for any holiday feast!

I know holiday cookies are all the rage right now and we’ll get to that too, but I couldn’t resist sharing these fluffy mashed potatoes first.

These aren’t just any mashed potatoes either, but rather, a mix of white sweet potato and red skin potatoes with bacon, broth, butter and chives. And, of course, an appropriate amount of black pepper and sea salt (I recommend a generous amount of each). It’s the perfect mix of sweet, savory, buttery and salty.

Mashed sweet and red skin potatoes with bacon

As for texture, these mashed potatoes are a nice mix of creamy and lumpy, which I think is the best of both worlds. And, these reheat so nicely. I didn’t even need to add more broth or butter when preparing the leftovers. Honestly, I even like them cold from the fridge and may have nibbled on some straight from the bowl a time or two!

Cheers and enjoy!
