Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed potatoes, cooled
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup bacon pieces or bits
Instructions
- Stir shredded cheese into mashed potatoes.
- Scoop mashed potatoes into 1 1/2-inch balls.
- Roll mashed potato balls in bacon pieces.
- Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees F for 15-18 minutes.
Notes
- Leftover mashed potatoes work great in this recipe. Pre-made mashed potatoes, like Bob Evans, work as well.
- We love using the 4-ounce pouches of instant mashed potatoes if we don't have any leftovers.
- We used Hormel Bacon pieces to cover our puffs, but you could definitely cook bacon and crumble it yourself!
