Bacon Gruyere Mashed Potato Casserole – This is a decadent and easy make-ahead dish. Grab some potatoes, butter, cheese, and bacon, and let’s get this party started!
If I had to choose my favorite veggies, bacon and cheese would be at the top of my list! Now add fluffy, buttery potatoes for the extra comfort factor in this recipe.
I am always in charge of mashed potatoes on the holidays, and I try to outdo this potato recipe each year. This one has 2 cups of nutty cheese, rich cream, and the king of comfort food: butter.
Mashed Potato Tip: Boil the potatoes in chicken stock to add extra flavor. Also make sure to heat the potatoes and the stock together to help prevent gummy potatoes.
I hope you love this easier mashed potato recipe and that it makes your comfort food world smile with tasty yums!
