Potato Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, oil and salt and pepper to taste and toss to coat. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast until tender and easily pierced with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the milk, garlic and onion powders and cayenne in a small slow cooker or pot. Add the cheese and heat on high if using a slow cooker (or over low heat if using a pot) until the cheese is melted, 15 to 20 minutes. Whisk to completely blend the mixture. Stir in three-quarters of the bacon and chives (reserve the remaining bacon and chives for garnish). Stir in the roasted potatoes and gently mix until completely coated with the cheese sauce. Top with the remaining bacon and chives. Serve hot with cocktail picks.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220c.
• Dice potatoes into bite size pieces (approx 1 inch).
• Pour olive oil& melted butter into ovenproof dish.
• Toss diced potatoes in oil& butter.
• Season to taste.
• Sprinkle cheese& breadcrumbs over potatoes.
• Toss mixture til potatoes are covered in cheese& bread crumbs.
• Cook in oven for approx 30 mins (til golden& crispy) turning once half way thru.
• Secrets to success, make sure oven is hot& adding the olive oil stops the butter from burning.

Steps:

• Divide the gravy among 8 compartments of an ice cube tray (a silicone one is easiest for removal). Freeze until solid, at least 3 hours or overnight. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• For the mashed potatoes: Put the potatoes into a medium saucepan, cover with cold water and season with salt. Bring the water to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and mash them or put them through a ricer while still hot. Add the butter and cream; stir until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Shape the potatoes into 8 balls and put on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Pop the frozen gravy cubes out of the tay. Flatten a mashed potato ball in the palm of your hand and press a gravy cube in the center. Press the potatoes around the gravy to encase it completely and reshape into a ball. Repeat with the remaining gravy and potatoes.
• Spread the flour in a shallow bowl. Add the eggs to a second shallow bowl and beat with a pinch of salt. Spread the stuffing crumbs in a third bowl. Roll each ball in the flour, then the egg, then the stuffing crumbs. Return to the baking sheet and refrigerate to firm up while you heat the oil, about 15 minutes.
• Heat 2 inches of oil in a Dutch oven to 325 degrees F. Fry the croquettes in 2 batches, until deep golden brown, about 7 minutes per batch, letting the oil return to temperature in between batches. Drain on paper towels. Season with salt and serve hot.

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the potatoes and sweet potatoes and boil until they can be easily pierced with a knife, but still have some resistance in the center, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and let cool.
• Use a box grater to finely shred the cooled potatoes into a large bowl. If necessary, remove any excess water by pressing the shredded potatoes with paper towels.
• Pour 2 inches of the oil into a large Dutch oven. Heat the oil until it registers 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
• Meanwhile, stir the flour and Miss Brown's House Seasoning into the potatoes. Shape the potatoes into 42 discs, about 1 teaspoon of potato mixture per disc. Working in batches, fry the potato bites until browned and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined wire rack to drain and cool. Keep warm in a low oven or serve immediately with ketchup.
• Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, sweet paprika, pepper and salt in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container. 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F and grease 36 1 3/4- by 1-inch muffin cups (see note, above).
• In a large bowl whisk together eggs, oil, matzo meal, salt, and baking powder. Grate onion on large holes of a 4-sided grater and whisk into egg mixture. Working quickly, in 2 batches, peel and quarter potatoes and in a food processor finely chop. Add potatoes as chopped to egg mixture and stir until coated well.
• Working quickly, spoon a rounded tablespoon potato mixture into each muffin cup and bake in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of pans halfway through baking, until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
• Cool potato bites in pans on racks 2 minutes. Run a thin knife around edge of each cup and transfer potato bites to a serving plate. Potato bites may be chilled, covered, 2 days or frozen 1 month. Reheat potato bites on a baking sheet in a 400°F oven until crisp, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped sweet potato fries, Cheddar, honey, 1/2 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of panko bread crumbs, 1 egg, salt, bacon salt seasoning, and chilled butter, and begin to mix rigorously with your hands. When the items are incorporated properly you can begin to form bite-size balls with the mixture. If the sweet potato mixture is not forming properly, add more flour and mix again. After forming the balls, put them on a plate, side by side, until all the mixture is used. When the plate is filled, wrap in plastic wrap and put it in the freezer for at least 1 hour. While the balls are freezing, prepare a "dredging" station. This should consist of (in this order) 1 bowl of seasoned flour (seasoning with salt and pepper is fine, you can also add more bacon salt seasoning) 1 bowl with 2 beaten eggs, and 1 bowl with seasoned panko bread crumbs (same seasoning as flour). When the bites are frozen begin the drudging process. You do this by rolling the balls in the flour, then dipping in the egg, then rolling them in the bread crumbs. Repeat this process with all the sweet potato bites. Fill a frying pan half way full with canola oil. Heat the oil to about 350 to 375 degrees F. When the proper temperature is achieved, gently drop the bites into the oil and cook until the entire outer layer of the bite is a golden brown. Transfer the bites to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. When all the balls have been fried and are cooling, take a small mixing bowl and mix the sour cream and the bacon ranch dip mix until it is totally incorporated. Take the tip of the kitchen syringe and put in the dip; pull the lever to transfer the dip into the shaft of the syringe. Insert the needlepoint of the syringe into the center of a sweet potato bite, then gently inject the dip into the bite. You may need to experiment with 1 or 2 bites before you get the technique down. You want to slightly fill the bite, but not overstuff it to the point where the dip leaks out. Continue this process until all the bites have been filled. Arrange the bits on a serving platter and serve warm.
