Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 baking potatoes, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons milk, or as needed
4 ounces shredded processed cheese
1 ¼ tablespoons Parmesan cheese
2 slices bacon, diced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place the potatoes into a pot with enough lightly salted water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until tender. Drain.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, fry the bacon pieces in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned, but not totally crisp.
  • Mash the potatoes with the butter, milk and cheese until fairly smooth. Use a potato masher or a whisk. Mix in the bacon. Form balls about the size of large ice cream scoops, and place them on a greased baking sheet. Scrape the top and sides with a fork to make textured lines over the balls. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese over the top of each one.
  • Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheese is golden brown.

I made these potato balls low-carb by using cauliflower instead of potatoes. They were still very tasty.
