step by step directions. We've Made Cooking As Easy As 1-2-3! print recipe 
  • step 1
    ingredients 4 1/2 pound Yukon Gold potatoes
    instructions Peel the potatoes (unless you have a ricer to mash them, as I do). Cut them in half, and drop them in a large saucepan of cold water.
  • step 2
    ingredients Salt (for the water)
    instructions Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.  Add the potatoes and turn down the heat to keep things at a resolute simmer for approx. 40 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and feel ready to be mashed when pierced with a fork.   Note: you can also cook the apples and onions with the potatoes.
  • step 3
    ingredients 6 strips of bacon
    instructions In a frying pan, fry bacon and remove from pan and drain.
  • step 4
    ingredients 1/2 cup onions (sliced)
    2 Granny smith Apples (chopped)
    instructions To bacon fat, add sliced onions and chopped  apples, saute until tender.
  • step 5
    ingredients 1 cup whole milk
    instructions Drain the potatoes, pour the milk into the emptied-out but still hot pan, and let the milk warm up, pitting the pan over a low heat if need be. 
  • step 6
    ingredients    
    instructions Turn off the heat and mash the potatoes with a potato ricer over the pan and into the milk -- every now and again you have to use the point of a sharp knife to help you remove the potato skins from the ricer. (or you can just put the peeled and cooked potatoes with the milk in the pan, and mash by hand.)  When all the potatoes have been mashed, put the pan over a low to medium heat and beat well with a wooden spoon until hot again.
  • step 7
    ingredients 2 1/2 cup grated mild Cheddar cheese
    instructions Add the grated cheese in 2 batches, beating well with your wooden spoon in between each addition.
  • step 8
    ingredients salt and pepper to taste
    instructions Season to taste, top with chopped bacon and apples and serve piping hot.
