3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tbs. maple syrup

0 Dirty Eatin’ with the Bass Clef Chef: Bacon Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Bacon Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes

4 – strips of bacon, cooked till crispy and the rendered fat drained and set aside
20 – cloves of garlic
5 lbs. Russet potatoes
Whole milk
1 – stick of butter
Salt
Pepper

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Roast garlic cloves in bacon fat for 2 hours or until the garlic is completely soft. Boil potatoes in salted water until a sharp knife can freely pierce the center. Drain potatoes, add roasted garlic, bacon strips, and mash with a potato masher. Add enough milk to achieve the desired consistency. More milk will lead to a creamier final product. Season to taste and serve with pan fried mustard greens and pork roast. Enjoy
