Mashed Potatoes With Fried Mushroom Bacon And Onion Recipes

MASHED POTATO CASSEROLE WITH MUSHROOMS AND CARAMELISED ONIONS

Steps:

• Peel and cut potatoes, boil in salted water until fork tender. Drain and air steam your potatoes until they look dry and flaky. Mash with hot milk, butter, sour cream and salt, then fold in beaten eggs. The mixture will look runny but that's exactly what you are looking for.
• While the potatoes are boiling. Saute the onions in 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat, covered with a lid for 10 minutes until tender, then uncover and add the mushrooms with thyme and garlic, stirl and continue cooking for 10 minutes longer until all liquid evaporates and the onions and mushrooms are caramelised.
• In a 9X13 inch or 3 Quart/Litre casserole dish layer the mashed potatoes with the mushroom and onion layer in the middle. Top the 2 tbsp of melted butter. Bake uncovered at 180C/350F for 25 minutes until the casserole is bubbling and puffed up. Broil for 1-2 minutes for a crispy top.
• Before serving fry the sage leaves in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Watch the sage leaves carefully as they burn quickly. Remove from the butter as soon as they start to curl and top the casserole. Reserve the sage flavoured butter for another use.

MASHED POTATOES WITH FRIED MUSHROOM, BACON, AND ONION

Steps:

• Add potatoes to a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook until crisp. Remove to paper towels.
• Wipe out the skillet, return to stove, and pour in vegetable oil. Stir in mushrooms and onion, and cook until onion is soft and translucent.
• When the potatoes are done, drain water, and place potatoes in a large bowl. Mash in butter and ranch dressing. With a potato masher or electric mixer, continue to mash until the potatoes are smooth. Stir in the mushrooms, onions, and crumbled bacon.

CREAMY BACON AND ONION MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes, depending on the size of the potato cubes.
• Meanwhile, fry bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned and crisp. Remove bacon from the skillet to drain on paper towels.
• Add the onions to the bacon grease in the skillet and fry until tender, stirring often. Drain excess grease.
• When the potatoes are done, drain the water out of pot and mash. Mix in the buttermilk (or the buttermilk/whole milk combination) until you get your desired consistency.
• Crumble in the bacon and stir in the onions. You can also stir in between 1-2 tablespoons of the bacon grease if you like. Mix together and serve.
