These are special, and go well with the pan gravy recipe I am posting. Using Yukon Gold potatoes, you can either leave all the skins on, or, as I do, peel half the potatoes. This recipe is for four. I omit the salt if serving with the pan gravy (the bacon makes the gravy salty enough)

    This is a simple mashed potato recipe, and not for those avoiding fat, but boy are they yummy! I think using the Yukon gold potatoes is the secret. They tasted more flavorful than other mashed potatoes I've eaten and also were a beautiful shade of gold.
    I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
