Best 2 Butterscotch Potato Chip Balls Recipes

BUTTERSCOTCH POTATO CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the room temperature (not melted!) butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Cream for 2-3 minutes.
• Mix in the eggs and vanilla. Mix for 1 minute or until well combined.
• Add in the flour, salt and baking soda. Mix until combined.
• Lastly, mix in the potato chips and butterscotch chips.
• Scoop the dough into balls using a 1 1/2" cookie scoop and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
• Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
• Place dough balls 2" apart on a parchment lined baking sheet (or use a silicone baking mat). If you'd like, press a few extra butterscotch chips on the top of the dough balls which will make them look pretty after baking.
• Bake for about 11 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly brown around the edges.
• If you'd like the cookies to be perfectly round, use a large round cookie cutter (or a wide mouth mason jar ring) to place over the hot cookie. Use your hand to make quick circles on the pan, which will round out the cookie. You have to do this when the cookies is hot, so work quickly immediately after the cookies come out of the oven.
• Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 3-4 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

CRISPY POTATO BALLS

Steps:

• Mix together the Mashed Potatoes, flour, egg, parsley, Parmesan, mozzarella and black pepper in a bowl. Place the breadcrumbs on a large plate.
• Form the potato mix into 12 golf-ball-sized balls. The mixture will be a little sticky, so wet your hands a little as you go. Place the balls directly on the breadcrumbs and roll each ball in the breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure they stick well. Put the breadcrumbed balls on a plate.
• Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 375 degrees F, or until the mixture bubbles when a breadcrumb is added.
• Add the balls to the oil and fry until golden brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes total. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle immediately with salt.
• Garnish with more Parmesan and parsley.
• Peel and cut the potatoes into pieces of approximately the same size. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until a fork easily slides into the potatoes with no resistance and the potatoes almost, but not totally, fall apart, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Drain the potatoes in a large colander. Place them back into the dry pot and put the pot on the stove. Mash the potatoes over a low heat, allowing all the steam to escape.
• Turn off the stove and add the butter, cream cheese and half-and-half. Mash, mash, mash! Add the seasoned salt and black pepper.
• Stir well and place in a medium baking dish. Throw a few pats of butter over the top of the potatoes and place bake until the butter has melted and the potatoes are warmed through, a few minutes.
