Recipe type: Breakfast
Ingredients
- 5 lb (2.2 kg) yukon gold potato, peeled and cooked
- 2 cups (200 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese
- 16 oz (455 g) bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 bunch scallion, sliced
- ½ tablespoon salt
- ½ tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 20 oz (565 g) ham, sliced
- 1 lb (455 g) cheddar cheese, 1 block, sliced into 20 1-inch (2-cm) squares
- 1 qt (1 L) canola oil, for frying
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 8 large eggs, beaten
- 4 cups (200 g) panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup (25 g) shredded parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mash the potatoes until there are no lumps.
- Add the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, bacon, scallions, salt, pepper, and onion powder.
- Mix until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Smooth out the top.
- Lay a 1-inch (2-cm) square of cheddar cheese in the center of a slice of ham. Fold the edges of the ham over the cheese, making a tight parcel. Repeat with the remaining ham and cheese.
- Press a ham-and-cheese square into the potato mixture, making sure to leave 1 inch (2-cm) of space on all sides. Repeat with the rest of the squares.
- Push the potato mixture around to cover up and seal the tops of the ham squares, then smooth out again.
- Freeze for 30 minutes, then slice the mixture into squares so each square has a ham square in the middle.
- Place the flour, eggs, and panko into 3 separate medium bowls.
- Dip a square into the flour, shaking off any excess. Dredge in the egg, then in the panko. Repeat with the remaining squares.
- Heat the oil in a large pot until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
- Fry the potato squares two at a time until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes, then drain on paper towels.
- Garnish the potato dippers with shredded Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Serve warm.
- Enjoy!
