Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Jump to recipe

There is something about this combination of the sweet potatoes and bacon that is irresistible.  My husband saw this idea somewhere on Instagram a few years ago and I’m pretty sure I could live off of them.  What’s not to love? Sweet potatoes?  Yes please.  Bacon? Always.

This is a dish I often make for family dinners that everyone enjoys.  Did I mention that there are only 2 ingredients in this dish!?  No, I don’t lie.  And this dish is so good,  you will be licking your plate.

• 6 large sweet potatoes
• 1 16oz pkg of bacon (sugar free for whole 30)
• salt and peper to taste
