Ingredients - Serves 6

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook in the bacon grease until caramelized, about 10 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and milk and mash until smooth.
Stir in the caramelized onions and crumbled bacon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the mashed potatoes hot, garnished with additional crumbled bacon if desired.
