mashed potatoes

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)
