Mashed Potato Bombs Recipes

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in boiling water 15 min. or until tender; drain. Cool slightly.
• Heat oven to 375ºF. Spoon potatoes into medium bowl. Add cream cheese spread, butter, Parmesan and pepper; mash until blended.
• Whisk 1 egg until blended. Add to potato mixture along with the green onions and bacon bits; mix well.
• Cover baking sheet with parchment. Shape potato mixture into 24 balls, using about 2 Tbsp. potato mixture for each ball. Place on prepared baking sheet.
• Whisk remaining egg with water; brush evenly onto potato balls.
• Bake 20 to 25 min. or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until brown and caramelized, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
• Mash together the potatoes, caramelized onions, cheese, softened butter, salt, and pepper.
• Cut the sausages into 2-inch pieces and encase the sausage pieces in the potato mixture.
• Add the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs to 3 separate shallow bowls.
• Coat the sausages first in the flour, then the eggs, followed by the bread crumbs, then once more in the eggs and bread crumbs. (In order to reduce mess, maintain one "dry" hand for coating in the flour and bread crumbs and one "wet" for coating in the egg.
• Heat the oil in a large pot until it reaches 325˚F (160°C). If you don't have a thermometer, you can test the oil by dropping in a small piece of white bread. If it sizzles and browns within 45 seconds, the oil is ready.
• Carefully deep-fry the bangers and mash bombs 4 at a time for a few minutes, until golden brown.
• Drain on a paper towel, sprinkle with salt, and serve with warm gravy.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium; cook and stir garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Place potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl; add 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss to coat. Heat in the microwave until potatoes are tender enough to easily poke with a fork, about 6 minutes. Cool until easily handled.
• Slice potatoes in half and scoop filling into a bowl. Set potato skins aside.
• Mash garlic, potato filling, Gouda cheese, onion powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Fill potato skins with potato mixture and sandwich the potato halves together. Wrap a bacon slice around each filled potato and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is cooked and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes.
