Here is how you can make these tasty bombs!
What you will need:
- 2 cups leftover and chilled Mashed Potatoes
- Bacon..one slice per Bomb
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 cup Dry Bread Crumbs
- Cheddar Cheese cut into 1″ chunks (one chunk per Bomb)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Skewers or toothpicks
- Oil for frying~ I used Canola
- Sour Cream and toppings for dipping
Directions:
- In a large bowl combine the Mashed Potatoes, Egg, and S&P until well blended.
- Grab a small scoop of the Mashed Potatoes and gently form it around a Cheddar Chunk.
- Place the Bread Crumbs into a shallow bowl, and roll that baby evenly in the Bread Crumbs.
- Now wrap the Bomb with one slice of Bacon and secure it with a toothpick or skewer.
- Place them one or two at a time into about 2″ of hot oil (350 degrees is best).
- Fry them until they’re evenly golden on all sides.
- Let the drain on some paper towel.
That’s it! Enjoy!
