For extra richness, substitute half-and-half or heavy cream for the milk. Crispy pancetta can be used in place of bacon. Experiment with different herbs like thyme or sage for a unique flavor profile. For a smoother texture, use a potato ricer instead of a masher. Make ahead: Mashed potatoes can be made ahead of time. Store in the refrigerator and reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk if needed to restore creaminess.

In a large pot, cover the cubed potatoes with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes. Drain well and return to the pot.

Step

While the potatoes are cooking, cook the diced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels to drain. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet; discard the rest.
03
Step
6 mins
Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet with the reserved bacon fat. Add the chopped red onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and rosemary and cook for another minute until fragrant.
04
Step
2 mins
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the cooked potatoes and let it melt, then mash until smooth. Gradually add the warmed milk, mixing until the potatoes reach your desired consistency.
05
Step

Stir in the cooked bacon, onion-rosemary mixture, and season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately and garnish with extra bacon and rosemary if desired.
