You start by making bacon salt - fry up 4 slices thick bacon and let them cool and pat them dry from excess grease. Pulse in a processor and mix with 1/4 cup kosher salt. (this makes more than you need for this one recipe)
Next quarter 3lb red potatoes and boil them in water with two slices bacon, til tender (about 25 minutes) and discard the bacon, then drain the potatoes.
In the same warm pan, melt 4 T unsalted butter with 1/2 whole milk, over medium heat. Add back in the potatoes and 1 T of the bacon salt. Mash and transfer to a bowl, and top with a bit more of the bacon salt.
Makes a great side dish!
