Roxy15 Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 Loaded Potato Bites: Ingredients: 2 Cups Leftover Mashed Potatoes 2 T. Flour 2/3 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese 3 Strips Bacon 1/3 Cup Scallions, Chopped 1 Egg 1-1/4-1-1/2 Cups Italian Bread Crumbs Salt & Pepper Ranch Dressing Or Honey Mustard Mustard, For Dipping Instructions: 1. Take potatoes out of the fridge and let sit for a few minutes to take the chill off a bit. Meanwhile shred the cheese, chop scallions, and cook bacon then dice finely. Add potatoes and flour to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine well, then add cheese, bacon, and scallions. Take about a heaping tablespoon of mixture and roll with hands into a small ball. It if doesn’t hold its shape, add a little more flour to make the potatoes sturdy. Repeat until done. 2. Heat oil in a medium sauce pan – or use your fryer/over medium/medium high heat to about 350-375 degrees. Whisk egg into a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Place bread crumbs in an additional bowl. Dip each ball in egg and then roll in bread crumbs until fully coated. Set aside on a sheet pan. 3. Test oil with one ball. The oil should bubble when potato is in oil and ball should take about 1-2 minutes to brown and cook through. (If takes longer the oil needs to be hotter, if it browned too quickly on the outside and the inside is still cold, the temperature needs to be lower.) Once oil is ready, add potato balls in small batches and fry for 1-2 minutes – it will depend on size. Remove with slotted spoon and place on paper lined plate to allow excess oil to drain off. Repeat until done. 4. Allow to cool for a minute or two and serve with dipping sauce. Quote Link to comment

Roxy15 Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 Salami & Cream Cheese Roll-Ups: Ingredients: 1-(8-oz.)-Pkg. Deli-Style Hard Salami ***Thinner Is Better As It Rolls Easier 6-(8-oz.)-Pkgs. Cream Cheese, Room Temperature 1/2 Green Pepper, Sliced Thin Your Favorite Crackers Instructions: Place a piece of plastic wrap on a clean surface. Place the cream cheese on top of the plastic wrap and cover with another piece of wrap the same size. Roll out the cream cheese into an even layer rectangle shape, approximately 1/4-inch thick. Remove the top layer of plastic wrap and lay out the salami on the cream cheese layer until all the cream cheese is covered. Lightly press the salami into the cream cheese to make it stick. Place the another plastic wrap and carefully flip the salami and cheese so that the cream cheese is again on top. Remove the wrap and place the slices of green pepper randomly all over the cream cheese. (Add any other veggies you'd like, just don't overfill it.) Gently lift the edge of the plastic wrap and bend inward, move the plastic wrap out of the way and carefully begin rolling. Roll the salami over the cream cheese being careful not to leave any air space and use the plastic wrap to pull it tight as you work. After it's all wrapped up like a log, secure the plastic wrap around it. Refrigerate at least 4-6 hours or overnight. Cut the roll-ups slices thin and place on a cracker. As large crackers may need a thicker slice, while smaller crackers will need one cut thinner. Quote Link to comment
