Bacio Potato Bites
About this Recipe
An Italian food and an Irish food walk into a bar. The bartender says, “Hey aren’t you on the menu? Right here, where is says ‘the most amazing appetizer to ever hit the fryer.’”
The key to making this recipe is to use chilled, firm mashed potatoes. A dash of Cajun seasoning in the mix would give them a hush puppy likeness. Serve these fried mashed potatoes with sour cream, ranch dressing, or marinara on the side.
