• Place potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water (about 8 cups), and add 2 tablespoons of salt. Bring to a boil, and cook until very tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well, and return to saucepan over low heat.
• Add butter, buttermilk, roasted garlic, and bacon. Mash until smooth. Stir in parsley and green onions, and season with salt and pepper.

BACON-CHEDDAR MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Simmer 2 pounds small potatoes in salted water until tender, about 20 minutes; drain. Cool slightly, then peel. Heat 1 cup milk with 1/2 stick butter. Mash the potatoes with the hot milk and stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar. Top with crumbled cooked bacon and sliced scallions.

• Place the bacon in a cast-iron pan over medium heat. Allow the bacon to render and crisp, about 5 minutes. Reserve the fat.
• Put the buttermilk and heavy cream into a saucepan and scald. Reserve until needed.
• Smash the potatoes just a little bit, and then season with salt and pepper. Add the butter, a touch of the heated buttermilk/heavy cream, the scallions and 1 tablespoon bacon fat and smash. Taste and re-season if needed, adding more buttermilk/heavy cream if desired. Fold in the rendered bacon, reserving some for garnish. Garnish with the reserved bacon and scallions.
