Does anyone have an amazing smashed potatoe recipe?

Adding garlic, onion, cheese, bacon, sour cream, etc makes something already wonderfully absolutely heavenly.





One tip, when you mash your potatoes, while they're sill hot, crack an egg into the mixture. It dosen't change the taste at all, but it keeps the potatoes from getting hard and crusty. I would say it makes them creamier in fact.Does anyone have an amazing smashed potatoe recipe?
Mashed Potatoes with Bacon and Garlic





Roasted garlic puree adds a mellow sweetness to mashed potatoes, which are also enriched with crispy bacon. For an exceptionally fluffy mash, pass the cooked potatoes through a potato ricer.


Ingredients:





6 lb. russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch


pieces





2 tsp. salt, plus more, to taste





3/4 lb. bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces





3 1/2 cups half-and-half





2 Tbs. roasted garlic puree





Freshly ground pepper, to taste


Directions:





Put the potatoes and the 2 tsp. salt in a large stockpot and add water to cover the potatoes by 3 inches. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well in a colander.





Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp and browned, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour the bacon fat into a small bowl and reserve, if desired, for adding to the mashed potatoes.





Return the pan to medium heat and pour in the half-and-half. Heat, stirring to scrape up the browned bits, until small bubbles form around the edges of the pan. Remove from the heat.





Set a potato ricer over the pot and pass the potatoes through in batches. Alternatively, return the potatoes to the pot and mash them with a potato masher. Gradually add the half-and-half, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the potatoes are smooth and creamy. Fold in the bacon, the roasted garlic puree and up to 2 Tbs. of the reserved bacon fat, if using. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a warmed serving bowl and serve immediately.
