What's better than traditional mashed potatoes? The addition of salty bacon and naturally sweet spuds.
How to Make It
Step 1
Pierce each potato with a fork 3 to 4 times on each side. Wrap each potato in a damp paper towel. Microwave at HIGH 8 minutes, turning after 4 minutes. Cool slightly. Cut potatoes in half; scoop pulp into a bowl. Mash pulp.
Step 2
Stir butter, milk, and syrup into potato pulp. Top with bacon.
