For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add sautéed mushrooms or roasted vegetables to the mashed potato mixture. Spice it up by adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the mashed potatoes. Feel free to substitute the Cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese blend, such as Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, or a Mexican blend. Make it a complete meal by serving with a side salad or a cup of soup.
