Creamy Mashed Potatoes

Public-domain recipe with an original dish photograph.

Ingredients

The quantities here are for about four adult portions. If you are planning on
eating this as a side dish, it might be more like 6-8 portions.
1kg potatoes
200ml milk*
200ml mayonnaise*
~100g cheese
Garlic powder
12-16 strips of bacon
Butter
3-4 green onions
Black pepper
Salt
\*You can play with the proportions depending on how creamy or dry you want the
mashed potatoes to be.

Instructions

Peel and cut the potatoes into medium sized pieces.
Put the potatoes in a pot with some water so that it covers the potatoes and
boil them for about 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft.
About ten minutes before removing the potatoes from the boiling water, cut
the bacon into little pieces and fry it.
Warm up the milk and mayonnaise.
Shred the cheese.
When the potatoes are done, remove all water from the pot, add the warm milk
and mayonnaise mix, add some butter, and mash with a potato masher or a
blender.
Add some salt, black pepper and garlic powder to taste and continue mashing
the mix.
Once the mix is somewhat homogeneous and the potatoes are properly mashed,
add the shredded cheese and fried bacon and mix a little.
Serve and top with chopped green onions.
