Velveeta Potato Bites

Anything with cheese & salsa in the ingredients sounds yummy to me.

We came across this on the Kraft site and hoping it will make an easy but tasty new appetizer.

Velveeta Potato Bites

Kraftrecipes.com

2 lb. baking potatoes (about 6), peeled, cut into chunks

2 green onions, thinly sliced

1 egg beaten

¼ tsp black pepper

¼ lb. (4 oz.) Velveeta, cut into 24 cubes

1 pkt. Shake n bake extra crispy seasoned coating mix

1-1/2 cups Salsa

Cook potatoes in boiling water in large saucepan 15 – 20 minutes or until tender; drain. Cool 10 min. Mash potatoes until smooth.  Add onions, egg & pepper; mix just until blended.

Heat oven to 400F. Empty coating mix into pie plate. Roll potato mixture into 24 balls, using about 2 Tbsp. for each.  Insert 1 Velveeta cube into center of each ball, completely enclosing Velveeta.  Add to coating mix; turn to evenly coated.  Place on rimmed baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. 

Bake 14 to 16 minutes or until heated through.  Serve with salsa.

Tupps Tidbits ~ make sure you fully enclose the cheese so it does not seep out, substitute 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives for the green onions

We choose to make ½ the recipe for the two of us & along with grilled chicken & veggies for a meal.

These turned out perfect & extremely tasty.  Sean thought it could use a little bacon extra flavor…next time!…..DEFINITELY A KEEPER!
