- Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon for 8 minutes or until crispy. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel.
- Reduce heat to medium and sauté garlic, shallot, mushrooms and thyme for 5 minutes or until golden. Remove from heat.
- Cut potatoes in half horizontally and scoop flesh into a bowl, leaving a 1⁄2-inch (1 cm) thick shell. Mash potato flesh with bacon, mushroom mixture, salt and pepper.
