Steps:

• On a cutting board, peel the potatoes. Place the potatoes in a large bowl of cold water after peeling to avoid discoloration.
• Cut the potatoes into 1-inch (2 cm) cubes.
• Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 12 minutes.
• In a small saucepan, bring the milk, heavy cream, and garlic to a simmer over low heat.
• Remove the pot from the heat and strain the cream through a fine mesh sieve.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander and transfer back to the pot.
• Mash the potatoes with a potato masher, potato ricer, or by pushing through a fine mesh sieve with a spatula.
• Add the cubed cold butter and salt. Stir to combine.
• Gradually add the cream mixture to the potatoes, little by little, until fully incorporated.
• Top with freshly ground black pepper and sprinkle with chives and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• In a large bowl, mix together beef, cooked onions and garlic, Parmesan, eggs, panko, salt, pepper, Worcestershire, milk and parsley. Set aside.
• In another bowl, make the glaze by mixing ketchup, brown sugar, mustard powder, onion powder, paprika, and tomato paste. Reserve half of the glaze in a separate bowl for after the meatloaf is cooked. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, mash cooked potatoes, butter, salt, pepper, milk and parmesan to desired consistency. Set aside.
• Line a bundt pan with slices of bacon and use a pastry brush to spread a layer of glaze on the inside of the bacon.
• Add ⅔ of the meat to the bottom of the bundt pan and spread up the sides and up the middle of the pan making a "bowl" for the mashed potatoes.
• Add the mashed potatoes into the "bowl" and smooth out. Top the mashed potatoes with the remaining meat, smooth out, coat the top with the raw meat glaze, and fold the slices of bacon over the top of the meat. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour, remove the foil after 30 minutes and carefully drain some of the fat before putting it back into the oven.
• Place a cooling rack on top of the bundt pan and flip over onto a baking sheet. Remove the bundt pan and coat the meatloaf with the reserved glaze.
• Broil on high for 3-5 minutes or until the glaze has caramelized.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Cut cheddar cheese block into small cubes.
• Place cold mashed potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Add green onion, chopped bacon, garlic powder, black pepper, and 1 egg - mix well.
• With lightly floured hands - pick up a tablespoon sized ball of potato mixture and flatten into a small pancake. Place a cube of cheddar in the center and wrap the potato mixture around the cheese. Repeat.
• In three separate bowls, add flour, remaining egg (whisked) and breadcrumbs. Coat the potato ball in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Coat once more with egg and once more with bread crumbs. Set aside - store in fridge while you wait to fry.
• In a medium pan heat oil over medium/high heat (to approximately 350˚F (180˚C). Fry the potatoes in batches until browned on all sides.
• Transfer fried potato balls to paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt.
• Transfer to a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven for 5 minutes at 400˚F (200˚C).

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate with tongs to drain, reserving the bacon grease.
• Chop the bacon strips into pieces, then transfer to a small bowl and toss with ½ tablespoon of maple syrup. Set aside.
• Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch (2.5 cm). Add 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and return to the pot.
• Add the milk, heavy cream, butter, and reserved bacon grease to a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until the butter melts.
• Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or ricer. Pour in the warm milk mixture and stir until smooth. Add the remaining tablespoon of maple syrup and remaining 1½ teaspoons of salt and stir to combine. Add more milk or heavy cream if the potatoes are too stiff.
• Transfer the potatoes to a large serving bowl, top with the maple-coated bacon, and serve.
