Categories     Drinks

Yield 12 potato balls

Number Of Ingredients 21

¼ cup Captain Morgan® Spiced Rum
¼ cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons brown sugar
8 slices thick cut bacon
2 cups cold mashed potatoes
¼ cup green onion, chopped
12 cubes monterey jack cheese
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 large eggs
½ cup all purpose flour
2 cups vegetable oil
1 green onion, sliced thinly on a bias
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 ½ oz Captain Morgan® Spiced Rum
2 dashes angostura bitters
1 cup ice
orange peel, for garnish
1 cherry, fresh or canned, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the rum-glazed bacon: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the Captain Morgan® Spiced Rum, maple syrup, and brown sugar to a small bowl and whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Arrange the bacon in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and brush the rum glaze over one side. Place in the oven for 6 minutes, then flip the bacon, brush the other side with the rum glaze, and return to the oven for another 6 minutes. Continue flipping and glazing until the bacon is crisp and browned, about 15-20 minutes more. Transfer to a plate until ready to use.
  • Make the mashed potato balls: Chop 6 slices of rum-glazed bacon and add to a large bowl with the mashed potatoes and green onions, and mix until well combined.
  • Using a 1-tablespoon scoop with a spring release, scoop 1 tablespoon of the potato mixture into your hand. Place a cube of Monterey Jack cheese in the center, then top with another tablespoon of the potato mixture. Roll into a ball, completely encasing the cheese. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 12 stuffed potato balls.
  • Add the bread crumbs, pepper, salt, and garlic powder to a shallow bowl and mix to combine. Beat the eggs in another shallow bowl. Add the flour to a third shallow bowl.
  • Roll the potato balls in the flour, then the eggs, then coat in the bread crumbs.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large, high-walled pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
  • Working in batches, gently add the potato balls to the hot oil and fry, turning frequently, until golden brown, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain while you repeat with the remaining potato balls and make the Old-Fashioned.
  • Make the rum Old-Fashioned: Add the granulated sugar, Captain Morgan® Spiced Rum, Angostura bitters, and 1 ice cube to a small rocks glass. Stir with a spoon until the sugar dissolves. Fill the glass with more ice and garnish with the orange peel and cherry.
  • Thinly slice the remaining 2 strips of rum-glazed bacon, then sprinkle over the potato balls, along with the green onion. Serve alongside the Captain Morgan® rum Old-Fashioned.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For the best mashed potatoes, use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes. These varieties have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and smooth when mashed.
  • Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces so that they cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they will take longer to cook and may not be fully cooked by the time the smaller pieces are done.
  • Bring the potatoes to a boil in salted water. This helps to draw out the starch and make the potatoes more fluffy.
  • Once the potatoes are boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender. Do not overcook the potatoes, or they will become mushy.
  • Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Use a potato masher or ricer to mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. Do not over-mash the potatoes, or they will become gluey.
  • Add butter, milk, and seasonings to taste. For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk. You can also add herbs, such as chives, parsley, or rosemary, to taste.
  • For the maple bacon topping, cook the bacon until it is crispy. Drain the bacon on paper towels and then chop it into small pieces. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together. Stir in the chopped bacon and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the bacon is evenly coated in the glaze.
  • Spoon the maple bacon topping over the mashed potatoes and serve immediately.
