There are mashed potatoes, and then there are "mashed potatoes." After you're done making these, they won't require anything else, not even butter on top, although I wouldn't put it past someone to do it...I would. These are great with meatloaf, chicken, pork. And what's not to like about mashed potatoes?

1 1/2 lbs russet or red skin potatoes
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup butter
1 tbsp. dried minced onion, optional
3 -4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 tsp salt

You can either peel potatoes, or leave with skins on. Wash thoroughly and cut into large even pieces. Boil on medium in a large saucepan with 1 tsp salt added to the water, about 30-45 minutes. Drain potatoes with lid askew. Keep potatoes in pan. Add butter first and mash into the potatoes. Add remainder of ingredients, including the remaining tsp salt. If you like a little creamier potato, add a 1/4 cup regular milk.
