Cheese, Bacon, and Potato balls

1,2,3 HAPPY NEW YEAR. When will life be normal I haven't put just a normal dinner for forever!First it Halloween, Thanksgiving,Christmas,Haunuka,Now New Years.So I am putting up New Years recipes.My family, for the main course often has a bunch of little one-bite things.I remember last year I think it was last year but we made a bunch of mini dinner pie.They were actually very good.But I love foods that you can eat in one bite but it has all  the flavors and textures and OMG I just want to scream  out loud "YOU GOT 2 TRY THIS".Potato and Bacon go really well together.When you eat it it litterally explodes in your mouth and the only thing that can make it better is cheese.One of the cheese parts (I guess I will just say that) is that you sprinkle fresh Parmesan cheese on it and you cook it till its golden brown so it adds almost a toasty flavor too it.They are the perfect one bite roll up.They are small but leave a big big lasting thought.Well I am going to go attempt to go food shopping before the snow gets worse.I live in Maryland and it is snowing at the moment.We are supposed to be getting an inch today,ehich sucks cause I am supposed to be going out with my BFF for frozen yougurt but that might  not happen.Well bye and Happy new year.

Ingredients-
5 potatoes,washed,peeled,and diced
1 tablespoon of butter
2 tablespoons of milk
4 oz shredded and processed cheese
1 1/4 tablespoons of fresh Parmesan cheese
2 slices of bacon,diced

Directions-

  1. Preheat the oven to 350
  2. 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 soft and tender. Drain.
  3. While the potatoes are cooking, fry the bacon pieces in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned, but not all the way crisp.
  4. 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 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.
  5. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheese is golden brown.Serve and enjoy!!!
