These bacon smashed potatoes offer a rustic and immensely satisfying alternative to traditional mash. By using the natural richness of rendered bacon fat and a splash of cider vinegar, this dairy-free side dish achieves a deep, savoury profile without the need for butter or cream. The Yukon Gold potatoes provide a naturally buttery texture, while the addition of fresh dill brings a bright, herbaceous lift that perfectly balances the saltiness of the crisp bacon.
Ideal for a relaxed Sunday roast or as a hearty accompaniment to grilled meats, this dish is both simple to prepare and naturally gluten-free. The steaming method keeps the potatoes light, allowing them to absorb the tangy dressing for maximum flavour in every bite. Serve them warm for a comforting homemade addition to your weekly menu that everyone can enjoy.

Ingredients for Bacon Smashed Potatoes
1.4kg Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
230g bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 to 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons chopped dill
How to make Bacon Smashed Potatoes
Steam potatoes in a large steamer rack set over boiling water, covered, until very tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook bacon in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, reserving fat in skillet. Add 2 tablespoons vinegar, sugar, and 3/4 teaspoons each of salt and pepper to hot bacon fat, scraping up brown bits.
Transfer potatoes to a large bowl, reserving 120ml steaming water. Add vinegar mixture to potatoes and smash with a potato masher to desired texture, adding reserved water if desired. Stir in dill, bacon, and vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste.
