Bacon Mashed White Sweet Potatoes
  1. Put diced sweet potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Gently boil until tender.

  2. Meanwhile in a pan cook bacon and diced onion. (If you prefer your bacon crisp, cook it first and then remove from the pan and cook your onion in the bacon fat.)

  3. When sweet potatoes are cooked, drain and mash by hand (using a mixer will not yield a nice texture)

  4. Add a spoonful of bacon fat from the bacon you just cooked or if you have some on hand in the fridge (I always keep my left-over bacon fat for seasoning dishes or frying onions - so many uses)

  5. Add a small amount of chicken or beef broth and salt to taste and continue to mash until desired consistency is achieved.

  6. Gently fold in the cooked onions and bacon.

  7. Serve immediately or keep warm in the oven.
