Holiday Gluten Free Mashed Potatoes

These gluten free mashed potatoes are to die for! A family member made these a few months ago and I was afraid to eat them, as I had no idea if the bacon was gluten free, but I found out that they included sour cream and cream cheese, as well. All of the guests were raving about them, and I just had to make them, gluten free. She had added some cheddar cheese to the top. I’ve added made these with cheese on top, inside, and without cheese. You just need to make sure all of your ingredients are gluten free, including the bacon, cream cheese and sour cream. You may mix in bacon or your favorite cheese. I like cheddar. I added crumbled bacon to to pof my gluten free mashed potatoes. I bet the left overs make wonderful potato pancakes! Just fry them cold with some butter. Yum! Can’t wait to try it!

Tips

Though you cannot find pieces of onion in this recipe, some kids are more sensitive than others. You may chop or grind the onion in a food processor or blender; strain them; and only use the onion juice for flavor.
