      Title: Cheesy Mashed Potatoes w/Gouda & Crispy Pancetta
 Categories: Potatoes, Pork, Cheese, Vegetables, Dairy
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
      1 lb Red-skin potatoes; in 1 1/2"
           - pieces
      1 lb Russet potatoes; peeled, in
           - 1 1/2" pieces
      2    Green onions
      1 c  1/4" cubes pancetta
    3/4 c  Half & half, light cream, or
           - whipping cream
      2 c  Fine shredded Gouda cheese
           Salt & fresh ground pepper
 
  In a 4 to 5 quart Dutch oven cook potatoes, covered, in
  enough boiling lightly salted water to cover for 20 to 25
  minutes or until tender; drain. Return potatoes to Dutch
  oven.
  
  Meanwhile, thinly slice green onions, keeping the white
  portions separate from the green tops. Set green tops
  aside. In a medium skillet cook white portions of onions
  and pancetta over medium-high heat about 8 minutes or
  until pancetta is crisp, stirring occasionally. Drain off
  fat.
  
  Add half-and-half to cooked potatoes. Mash with a potato
  masher or an electric mixer on low speed until nearly
  smooth. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the cheese and the pancetta
  mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  
  Transfer mashed potatoes to a serving dish. Sprinkle with
  green tops of onions and the remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
  
  VARIATIONS: Vegetarian? Use an equal amount of chopped
  artichoke hearts to replace the pancetta. Not a fan of
  Gouda? Replace it with smoked mozzarella. No green onions?
  Substitute fresh chives or Italian (flat-leaf) parsley.
  
  TO MAKE AHEAD: Prepare as directed through Step 3.
  Transfer mashed potatoes to a greased 2-quart baking dish.
  Cover and chill for up to 24 hours.
  
  Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC. Bake, covered with foil,
  for 40 to 45 minutes or until heated through.
