Ingredients

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

Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking fry the bacon pieces in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned but not totally crisp.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven or until cheese is golden brown.
