Bacon Wrapped Cheesy Potato Bombs

Ingredients:

2 cups leftover and chilled Mashed Potatoes

Bacon ~ you will need one slice per Bomb

1 Egg

1/2 cup Dry Bread Crumbs

Cheddar Cheese cut into 1″ chunks (one chunk per Bomb) (you can use any kind of cheese you want, I have seen recipes with smoked Gouda, swiss, and mozzarella ~ it will depend on what you like)

Salt and Pepper to taste

Skewers or toothpicks

Oil for frying (I prefer Canola but any oil frying oil will do)

Directions:

In a large bowl combine the Mashed Potatoes, Egg, salt and pepper 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 evenly in the Bread Crumbs

Wrap the Bomb with one slice of Bacon and secure it with a toothpick or skewer

Fry them until they’re evenly golden on all sides Let them drain on some paper towel

NOTE:

You can cut each bacon slice in half and wrap both pieces of the bacon opposite sides of the potato roll
