Ham Potato Puffs Recipes

Steps:

• Press each biscuit onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased muffin cup. In a large bowl, combine the ham, potatoes, 1/2 cup cheese, parsley and garlic powder. , Spoon 1/4 cup into each prepared cup. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. If desired, sprinkle with minced fresh parsley. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray a 12 count muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Mold biscuits to the shape of each biscuit cup. You will need to snip a bit from each in order to get 12 altogether-the biscuits I buy only have 8 in them.
• In a large bowl, combine the ham, potatoes, 3/4 cup cheese, parsley, and garlic powder if using and green onion if using.
• Divide ham mixture between the 12 cups.
• Bake for about 25 minutes, or until done. (Use a toothpick to check if biscuit is done, then use a spoon to see if underside is brown enough, if not bake longer).
• Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of cheese and continue baking until cheese on top melts. (I put a large cooking sheet underneath so that the melting cheese does not mess up my oven).
• Serve warm.
• Refrigerate leftovers, or freeze.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place a piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan.
• Lay 1 sheet of puff pastry on a floured board and carefully roll it out to 10 by 12 inches. Place it on a sheet pan and brush the center with the mustard, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Place a layer first of ham and then cheese, also leaving a 1-inch border. Brush the border with the egg wash.
• Place the second sheet of puff pastry on the floured board and roll it out to 10 by 12inches. Place the second sheet on top of the filled pastry, lining up the edges. Cut the edges straight with a small, sharp knife and press together lightly. Brush the top with egg wash and cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes and serve hot or warm.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until soft and golden, about 3 minutes. Lower the heat and add the meat; cook, stirring occasionally, until hot, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the sour cream, egg, and herbs. Add to the meat mixture and cook until just heated through. Season with pepper and spoon into the Cheese Mantecaos, making little sandwiches. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil. Add flour and salt all at once, stirring until smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and shiny. , Spread dough onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 400° for 30-35 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Prick the puff with a fork. Cool on a wire rack. , In a bowl, combine the ham, celery, shrimp, green pepper, onions, mayonnaise, dill, salt and pepper. Line puff with lettuce; fill with ham mixture. Garnish with dill if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Combine water, butter, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously, until the batter leaves the sides of the pan and a ball of paste forms.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool for about a minute.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating vigorously after each one until the dough is smooth.
• Stir in cheese, ham, and dry mustard.
• Place heaping teaspoonfuls on a lightly greased baking sheet.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until firm and golden.
• IF FREEZING: Allow to cool completely and store in an airtight container between layers of wax paper.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix in the mashed potatoes and egg until well blended.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or heavy deep skillet to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C). Carefully drop the potato mixture by spoonfuls into the hot oil, and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from oil to drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in salted water for 8-10 mins, until tender but still firm. Leave to cool, then slice.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Unroll the pastry with its baking parchment on a baking tray. Reserve 1 tbsp of the crème fraîche, then spread the rest over the pastry, leaving a 2cm border around the edge. Season. Layer the potatoes, ham and cheese over half of the pastry, seasoning the potatoes as you go.
• Fold over the other half of the pastry and use a fork to seal the edges. Trim with a knife for a neat finish - the pie should look like a big sausage roll. Mix a little water into the reserved crème fraîche, then brush all over the pastry. Make a few cuts along the length, then bake for 35-40 mins until golden. Leave to cool for 10 mins, then serve with a salad, if you like.
