Donna E. Godfrey tells me this recipe is terrific when adding a dash of horseradish sauce.

Bacon Mashed Potatoes

1/3 c diced Canadian Bacon
2 T chopped scallions(You can use onions diced fine)
4 lbs. Yukon Gold potatoes
1/2 t  salt
1/2 c cream (I use Half & Half)
1/4 c softened butter
1 t  minced garlic
1/2 t  ground nutmeg (I just add a little)

Fry diced Canadian bacon until crispy.  Mix with chopped scallions.  Set aside. 

Cover peeled, quartered potatoes with water and salt. Bring to a boil. Simmer for 30 minutes or until fork tender.  Drain. 

Whip potatoes with cream, butter, garlic and nutmeg.  Blend in half the bacon mixture.  Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper to taste.  Transfer to serving bowl. 

Top with remaining bacon mixture. 

Serves 6 to 8 people.
