If you're like me, there's always something leftover in your fridge that winds up getting tossed
because quite frankly, once was enough. There are lots of these recipe videos that are on social
media that look really good. Sometimes that's just it...they look really good. Other times, they
actually are really good. One that I have tried is cheese stuffed mashed potato bites! Super
simple and quite delicious! Here's how to do it: - Kris Caporaso
Ingredients
2 cups leftover and chilled Mashed Potatoes
1 Egg
1/2 cup Dry Bread Crumbs
Cheddar Cheese cut into 1" chunks (one chunk per
Bomb)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Oil for frying~ I used Canola
Sour Cream and toppings for dipping
Preparation Instructions
1) In a large bowl combine the Mashed Potatoes, Egg, and
S&P until well blended.
2) Grab a small scoop of the Mashed Potatoes and gently
form it around a Cheddar Chunk…
3) Place the Bread Crumbs into a shallow bowl, and roll
that baby evenly in the Bread Crumbs. Fry them up in the
oil 50 degrees, until they're evenly golden...
4) Let the drain on some paper towel .
5) Serve them with Sour Cream, and serve them warm so
they explode! ~Enjoy! :)
Let's say you roast a whole chicken. You have the carcass and lots of chicken left. Don't toss the
carcass, boil it and make broth for chicken soup! Who doesn't love chicken soup any time of
year. You can even make it and freeze it until you are ready for it.
Rice is another item that we usually have extra of that never really gets put to good use. Here's
a simple rice pudding recipe to help with that problem.
