No boring mashed potatoes here! These babies are packed with flavor by using bacon and caramelized onions. Talk about flavor!

Mashed potatoes are a classic Thanksgiving side dish. Now we would never be one to turn down a classic bowl of buttered potatoes, but we decided to jazz it up just a bit. We topped our mashed potatoes with caramelized onions and lots of crispy bacon. How can you go wrong with onions and bacon?
