When I was in California I was lucky enough to go to Guy Fieri's restaurant in Roseville. 

I had been wanting to go for forever and was excited as anything to try out the food. It was pretty good! The restaurant was designed quite nicely with flames as a motif for the decor and there was obviously a lot of Guy Fieri stuff as well. 

I got smoked apple bacon wrapped prawns {shrimp} with seasonal veggies {broccoli} and these AMAZZZZING mashed potatoes. 

These potatoes are so good my mouth is water just thinking about them. 

What's even better - is that I was able to find the recipe for them on the Food Network website - how lucky are we!?

You definitely need to try these potatoes. They are seriously beyond delicious!

Bon Appetit!
