Time 40m

Yield 24 bites

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup leftover mashed sweet potato
3 tablespoons mascarpone cheese, chilled
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
All-purpose flour, for dusting
2 puff pastry sheets (One 17.2 ounce package), thawed according to package directions
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons cinnamon-sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the mashed sweet potato, mascarpone, cinnamon, ginger and vanilla using a rubber spatula. Set aside.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out a sheet of puff pastry to 10-by-13 inches. Using a 3- inch round cutter, cut out 12 rounds from the first sheet of puff pastry. Working one at a time, use your fingers to slightly flatten and widen each round. Spoon a heaping teaspoon of the mashed potato filling into the middle of the round, brush a small amount of egg on one edge and stretch the pastry over the filling to make a half moon. Crimp the edges with your fingers to seal and place on the prepared baking sheet. Continue with the remaining rounds and half the filling, leaving 1 inch between puffs, and then cut and fill 12 rounds from the second sheet of puff pastry.
  • Brush the tops of each pastry with some beaten egg and sprinkle with some cinnamon-sugar. Use the tip of a knife to poke a hole in the center of each of the puff. Bake until golden brown and puffed, about 15 minutes. Serve hot.

BONNIE'S POTATO AND ONION PIE



BONNIE'S POTATO AND ONION PIE image

This is a great side dish with tons of flavor, and easy to prepare. The smell is fantastic! (No crust to make) Great served with chicken on the spit and a tossed green salad. Sliced potatoes and onions cooked in sour cream and cheese of your choice. I hope you try this side dish! Enjoy!

Categories     Potatoes

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds of russet potatoes, peeled and sliced very thin
1 medium size onion, peeled and cut in half, and sliced very thin
salt and pepper to taste (light on the pepper)
4 teaspoons of minced garlic
1 cup of grated cheese, divided
2/3 cup of sour cream, whipping cream, or milk (i use a combination of all three!)
1/4 cup parmesan grated fresh
pam spray

Steps:

  • 1. Cook's Tip: A word about cheese. I use jack cheese, fontina, gruyere cheese, cheddar, but I like fontina and jack cheese the best. For the milk mixture, I use a combination of sour cream, heavy cream and 2% milk, which is what I had on hand. You can use all milk, or all cream, or mix it up. Use what you like. Experiment to your hearts content. This is a fun recipe for that!
  • 2. Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 10 inch glass pie dish with Pam.
  • 3. Scatter 2 teaspoons of garlic on bottom of Pam sprayed pie dish. Put half of the sliced potatoes on top of the garlic, overlapping the slices. Add half of the onion slices. Add salt and pepper (go easy on the pepper) Sprinkle 1/3 cup of cheese (your choice) over the onions evenly. Repeat the layer of garlic, potatoes, onions, and salt, pepper. Add the milk mixture evenly over the top, and then add the remaining 2/3 cup of cheese of choice, plus, the 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese.
  • 4. Cover the pie with foil and bake 30 minutes, uncover and bake 30 minutes more. You may want to do a low broil to brown the top. Cut into wedges to serve. Enjoy!
  • 5. Cook's Note: I also have a Tater and Onion Pie with ham that is another variation of this recipe and it is posted.

POTATO PUFFS

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large russet potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled
Kosher or sea salt
1/4 cup whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg plus 3 egg yolks
Peanut or vegetable oil, for deep-frying (about 8 cups)

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water; season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook until fork-tender, about 20 minutes; drain. Pass the potatoes through a ricer into a large bowl or mash with a potato masher until smooth.
  • Combine the milk, butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, add the flour and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until incorporated. Return the saucepan to the stove and cook over low heat, stirring, until the mixture comes together and pulls away from the side of the pan, about 1 minute. Continue stirring until the mixture is slightly shiny, about 4 more minutes.
  • Transfer the mixture to a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed, about 1 minute. Add half of the mashed potatoes and the whole egg and beat until incorporated. Add the remaining potatoes and the egg yolks and beat until creamy and smooth, about 1 more minute. Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip. Set a large piece of parchment paper on a cutting board. Pipe about 24 mounds (1 to 1 1/2 inches each) of the potato mixture on the parchment. Cut the parchment between the mounds with a paring knife so each puff sits on its own piece of paper.
  • Heat 2 inches of peanut oil in a large pot until a deep-fry thermometer registers 325 degrees F. Working in batches, carefully invert each puff into the oil, leaving it on the parchment. The parchment will fall off as the puffs cook; remove with tongs. Fry until golden, turning as needed, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels; season with salt.
