Seared Scallops and Creamy Mash ::: Crispy Bacon and Sage

We've been on a Jamie Oliver kick lately, and this recipe is yet another success story from Jamie's repertoire. As with all of the photos on this blog, the picture represents our own rendition of this delicious dish. Click here for a link to Jamie's blog for the full recipe (which we followed exactly, plus an additional spritz of lemon one everything was plated). Also copying screen shots of his recipe below. In particular, we found that the scoring of the scallops really helped for sauce absorption. Highly recommend this little trick for scallop cooking.

I'm classifying this dish under "easy entertaining," because it truly is very easy to prepare, but hosts should note number of guests to determine if cost of the scallops is feasible (we bought at Costco for approx $16 per lb).
