Submitted by: Tammy Reese, Farm and Dairy

Ingredients:

• 3lb. bag yukon gold potatoes, halved and peeled
• 5 strips bacon, chopped into small pieces.
• 1 cup cooked cabbage (See Crockpot Stout Braised Corned Beef and Cabbage)
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup cream cheese
• 1/4 cup milk (may need more depending on how you like the consistency of your mashed potatoes)
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

1. In a large pot, boil the potatoes until fork tender.
2. While the potatoes are cooking, place bacon in a frying pan. After 2 minutes, add the onions and garlic. Once the bacon is crispy, remove from the heat and set aside.
3. Drain the potatoes and place them along with butter and cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Mix into mashed potatoes, adding milk a little at a time to reach your desired consistency.
4. Mix the bacon mixture and the cabbage into the mashed potatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve hot.
