Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 30 mins Ready Time: 45 mins


• preheat the oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c).
• 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.
• while the potatoes are cooking, fry the bacon pieces in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned, but not totally crisp.
• 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.
