Syn Free Layered Mashed Potato Casserole

This Layered Mashed Potato Casserole is the ultimate side dish. Seriously it is so good, you could actually just eat this as a main course.

So what exactly is a layered mashed potato casserole? Well it is exactly what the title suggests, except in this case, i've added a layer of sweet potato, as well as regular potato, and then of course cheese and bacon goodness on the top. It's yum!!

You can vary the layers too, just do all regular potato if you don't like sweet potatoes, or all sweet potato, if you prefer the lovely sweetness of sweet potatoes.

I don't use a full healthy extra of cheese per person for the topping, as I don't feel it needs it, which gives you half an healthy extra a to use elsewhere in the day.

Or if you prefer you can syn the cheese, so you have your full healthy extra for something else.

This Layered Mashed Potato Casserole is gluten free, if you omit the bacon on top, it will also be vegetarian friendly.
