Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack for crispier results.

Step 2: Prepare the Mashed Potato Mixture

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes , cheddar cheese , Parmesan cheese , and green onions (if using). Season with salt , pepper , and optional garlic powder or paprika .
  2. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed and the mixture holds together when shaped.

Step 3: Shape the Potato Balls

  1. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mashed potato mixture into your hands and flatten it into a disc.
  2. Place a small cube of shredded cheese in the center of the disc and wrap the mashed potato around it, shaping it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
  3. Step 4: Wrap with Bacon

    1. Take one piece of halved bacon and wrap it tightly around each mashed potato ball, securing the ends underneath.
    2. Place the bacon-wrapped balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

    Step 5: Bake the Bombs

    1. Bake for 25–30 minutes , or until the bacon is crispy and the potato bombs are heated through.
    2. Optional: Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end to achieve extra crispiness (watch closely to avoid burning).

    Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

    1. Let the bombs cool slightly before serving.
    2. Serve warm with sour cream , ranch dressing , or marinara sauce for dipping.

    Tips and Variations

    • Add Fillings: Experiment with different fillings like cream cheese, jalapeños, or diced ham for added flavor.
    • Make It Spicy: Use pepper jack cheese or sprinkle red pepper flakes over the mashed potato mixture.
    • Gluten-Free Option: Ensure the bacon and any additional ingredients are gluten-free.
    • Air Fryer Option: Cook the bombs in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes , flipping halfway through, for extra crispiness.
    • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days . Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
