Mashed Potatoes With Bacon And Arugula - baking potatoes

Method

• In a large saucepan over high heat, bring potatoes, garlic and salted water (enough to cover the potatoes) to a boil. Cook for 15 mins or until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain potatoes well and return to saucepan and garlic.
• Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon for 4 mins or until crisp, turning once. Drain bacon on paper towels and crumble. Remove all but 1 tablespoon bacon drippings from skillet. Add arugula to bacon drippings in skillet. Cook for 1 min or just until wilted. Remove from the heat.
• Using hand masher or potato ricer, mash potatoes and garlic with vegetable broth, milk and butter until smooth, adding additional milk if desired. Stir in arugula and crumbled bacon. Season to taste with salt and ground black pepper, if desired.
