Those Mashed Potato Bacon Bombs sound dangerously delicious! Here's a recipe to match the mouthwatering name:
π₯π₯ Mashed Potato Bacon Bombs π£π§
πΉ Ingredients:
- 2 cups mashed potatoes (leftovers work great!)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese blend)
- ½ cup green onions (chopped)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 egg (for binding)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 12 strips bacon
- Optional: diced jalapeΓ±os or cooked crumbled sausage for extra kick
πΉ Optional for stuffing:
- Small cubes of mozzarella or cheddar
π₯ Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and set a rack on top if you have one (helps the bacon crisp up).
-
Mix mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, green onions, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and egg in a large bowl.
-
Form balls (about golf ball size). If you’re feeling extra, press a cube of cheese into the center and cover it with the potato mixture.
-
Roll each ball in breadcrumbs for a crispy outer layer.
-
Wrap each ball with a strip of bacon, securing with a toothpick if needed.
-
Place on baking rack/sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until bacon is crispy and sizzling.
-
Optional: Broil for an extra 2–3 minutes if you want that bacon extra crispy.
π§ Dipping Sauce Ideas:
- Garlic aioli
- Ranch
- Sriracha mayo
- Sour cream & chives
