Vodka Mashed Potatoes

I just can't get enough of these Vodka Mashed Potatoes! It's amazing what the vodka does for the consistency of these mashed potatoes

While cruising various foodie sites on social media, I saw a reference to a recipe for Vodka Mashed Potatoes. My first reaction was that I thought it was an odd combination of ingredients but hey, I like eclectic food so I just had to give it a try.

Now making mashed potatoes is not that difficult. And this recipe is really no different than every other mashed potato recipe out there, except the Vodka.

But don’t worry, you can’t taste the vodka! But it sure does help with the consistency of these mashed potatoes.

Everyone knows I love to add bacon to everything so if you are a fan of bacon, fold in a cup of cooked & crumbled bacon. For a little more flair, you can add some roasted garlic to taste.

Please keep your guests in mind when serving these mashed potatoes. It does contain alcohol.
