Time 35m

Yield 24 appetizers, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 slices thinly sliced hardwood smoked bacon, cut in half crosswise
1 (24 ounce) package Simply Potatoes Sour Cream and Chive Mashed Potatoes (unheated)
3 eggs
3/4 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese, divided use
1/4 cup fresh chives, cut into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 2 large jelly-roll pans (approximately 17.25 x 11.5-inches in size) with parchment paper. Place the 24, half strips of bacon on prepared pans in a single layer. Bake 5-7 minutes, or until bacon has rendered some of the fat and just starting to brown on the edges, but still flexible. Drain on paper towels; pat to remove excess grease.
  • Using a 24-cup, non-stick mini muffin pan, line bottom and sides of each mini muffin cup with a half strip of the par-cooked bacon in a circular fashion, making a well in the center, folding or creasing if needed to fit.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat potatoes, eggs, and 1/2 cup of the cheese with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy.
  • Transfer potato mixture to a large pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe potato filling evenly into bacon-lined muffin cups in a spiral fashion (cups will be full and potato spirals will extend beyond the height of muffin cups). Sprinkle tops with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Let rest 5 minutes. Run knife around edges to remove from pan. Place on serving platter and garnish with chives. Serve warm. Makes 24.
  • Note: A plastic freezer bag can be used in place of a pastry bag and decorator's tip. Fill freezer bag with potato mixture and seal. Using kitchen scissors, cut off a small corner of the bag, about 1/2 inch, and pipe potato mixture into mini muffin cups as directed.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The potatoes didn't turn out crispy at all.

These potatoes were way too greasy for me. I think I would use less bacon next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I would add more salt and pepper next time.

These potatoes were a little dry for my taste. I think I would add more butter or milk next time.
