- 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- melted
- 6 slices bacon

Coat 2-quart baking or soufflé dish with cooking spray. Scoop potato flesh from skins into large bowl; mash until smooth. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup marmalade, butter and salt and remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Transfer to baking dish. Bake 20 minutes or until heated through. Serve sprinkled with candied bacon.
