Enhance potato bites with Progresso® bread crumbs for a spooktacular Halloween appetizer.
Ingredients:
  • 1 container (24 oz) refrigerated mashed potatoes
  • 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (4 oz)
  • 4 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 3 slices bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups Progresso™ plain bread crumbs
  • Vegetable oil for deep frying
  • 1 container (16 oz) sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons dry ranch dressing mix (from 1-oz package)
Instructions:
  • In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, cheese, 2 tablespoons of chives, bacon, and 1 egg. Mix until well combined. Form the mixture into 1-inch balls.
  • Prepare a workstation with two shallow bowls: one with bread crumbs and the other with the remaining 5 beaten eggs. Roll potato balls in the bread crumbs, dip them in the beaten eggs, and coat them once more with bread crumbs.
  • Heat 2 inches of oil to 375°F in a deep fryer or 3-quart heavy saucepan. Fry potato balls in batches for 1 to 1.5 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  • Combine sour cream, 2 tablespoons of chives, and the dressing mix in a small bowl. Serve the warm potato bites with the sauce.
