Potato Poppers

What to do with Thanksgiving leftovers? Re-cycle, re-purpose, re-use! How about Turkey Sliders filled with sliced turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce? Leftover mashed potatoes become the cutest ever Potato Poppers (and here’s a hint- you can freeze these for easy holiday hors d ouevres!) Even pumpkin pie gets a totally new look! Scrape the filling off the crust and roll it up in a crepe. Top with a dollop of Bourbon whipped cream and you have yourself a delicious little dessert that tastes brand new!

Directions

Stir cheese and salt and pepper into mashed potatoes; mix until well combined. Beat eggs in a small bowl. Lightly flour your hands and form 2 tablespoonfuls of the potato mixture into a ball. Dip in egg mixture. Roll in panko crumbs. Place on a lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining mixture. Refrigerate 1 hour before baking, or freeze for up to 2 weeks. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and crisp.


Yield: makes 24-20

What's Needed:

 

3 cups leftover mashed potatoes
1/3 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, blue, etc)
Salt and pepper
2 eggs
Flour for hands
2 cups Panko bread crumbs
