Fried Mashed Potato Balls

By Leave a Comment

Are you ready for the best potato dish we have ever made? I certainly didn’t think that they would turn out this delicious, but they definitely did!

I love potatoes, I mean, I really do… They are my favorite food, I was a vegetarian for roughly three years, and I basically just ate potatoes. My dad used to call me a potato-arian, and it definitely fit!

I mean, look at these! How can you not want to just eat them right through your screen?!

I think that when the Hubby and I make them again we will add some cheese to the middle of the balls to give them a little bit of extra flavor! (Maybe we will even add some bacon, take them up another notch!)

Southwest Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Southwest Stuffed Sweet Potatoes | This Is Why I’m Full

Alright, a lot of people have it wrong, Sweet Potatoes are not actually orange on the inside, those are yams. Sweet potatoes have a richer flavor that isn’t quite so sweet! They make a delicious and hearty meal, like these Southwest Stuffed Sweet Potatoes! The slight sweetness in the potato contrasts so nicely with the Sharp jalapeno spiciness and the soft textures mix very well with the crunch from the corn!
As we have demonstrated before with our Crock Pot Baked Potatoes you could make this even easier to make by pre-cooking your Sweet Potatoes in your crock pot ahead of time and then the majority of the prep time is gone!
These re-heated really well, which was a good thing considering 2 potatoes was more than the two of us could ever eat! Hooray for leftovers!

Cheddar Ranch Twice Baked Potatoes|This Is Why I’m Full

You might be tired of our potatoes by now, but we certainly aren’t! We have an entire bag of our homemade french fries sitting in the freezer waiting to be devoured! Unfortunately we don’t have any of our Cheddar Ranch Twice Baked Potatoes in the freezer, they don’t freeze well! But they are so delicious that it’s worth the effort it takes to make them!
There’s nothing like a delicious cheesy potato right out of the oven, add bacon and ranch and I’m sold! I can’t wait to make these again, especially the cheesy ranch sauce!

  6. Remove the potatoes from the oven.
  7. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F.
  8. With a sharp knife, cut each potato in half lengthwise.
  9. Scrape out the insides into the mixing bowl, being careful not to tear through the skin, you need it to hold together!
  10. Lay the hollowed out potato skins on a baking sheet.
  11. Smash the potatoes into the butter, bacon green onions and sour cream. Add the cheese, milk, seasoned salt, 1/2 packet of ranch dressing, and black pepper to taste and mix together well.

Spinach Artichoke Twice Baked Potatoes|This Is Why I’m Full

Okay, I don’t know if you’ve tried our Crock Pot Spinach Artichoke Dip or any of our other delicious spinach artichoke dishes (look them up, there’s a lasagna that is to die for!) But these Spinach Artichoke Twice Baked Potatoes  are the best out of all of them! Potatoes and cheese and artichoke hearts, delicious.
I have this really bad habit of eating all of the pickled artichoke hearts almost as soon as the jar is open. I love them, and it drives the Hubby crazy because when we buy them it’s for a specific purpose or meal and we usually have to buy two jars when we only need one and then I’m usually not hungry for dinner after I eat the hearts. But I was hungry for these, I ate too many in fact and they were amazing!

Cheeseburger Twice Baked Potatoes|This Is Why I’m Full

These Cheeseburger Twice Baked Potatoes are so amazing you might never need to make or buy real cheeseburgers again! The potato shells get just a little bit crispy and the tomatoes and ground beef are such a great combination. We always make way more of these than we need and so we had them for dinner multiple times in a week, that’s what is so great about twice baked potatoes, you can make a ton of them and they reheat perfectly every time!

Potato Pancakes | This Is Why I’m Full

As I’m sure you know I am one of six children, so as I’m sure I’ve told you before my parents both cook like they are feeding an army at every meal, which they usually are. Holidays around my parent’s house are always fun and my parents are always over prepared when it comes to food. So 99% of the time there is leftover food, usually more mashed potatoes than anything else! And so every year my dad ends up making a bunch of these Potato Pancakes for all of us and they are amazing.
Crispy on the outside and warm and cheesy on the inside, you really can’t go wrong! They are a little hard to cook properly, they stick like crazy if you don’t grease the pan enough but with enough practice you will get the hang of it!

Jalapeno Popper Twice Baked Potatoes | This Is Why I’m Full

I’m being completely serious when I tell you that these Jalapeno Popper Twice Baked Potatoes are the best thing I have ever come up with and made! Cheesy and spicy, so amazing! The crunchy panko bread crumbs on top were perfect! When we made them we ate them for dinner 3 nights in a row until we ran out, and they were even better when we baked them to reheat them!
I can’t wait to make these Jalapeno Popper Twice Baked Potatoes again, the hubby’s dad has this amazing garden and he grows a bunch of jalapenos and other peppers and I think that using home grown jalapenos instead of store bought will make them even more delicious!
