Mashed Potato Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers
These are fun when you want something totally different. Lose the bacon if you want to go vegetarian. Do the mashed potato!
Ingredients
- 10 jalapeno peppers
- 5 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
- 5 ounces mashed potatoes, shredded
- 2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 egg
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- Olive oil for frying
Cooking Directions
- Remove stems from the jalapeno peppers and remove innards through the top with a pepper corer. If you do not have a corer, use a knife or very thin spoon.
- In a mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon.
- Stuff each jalapeno with 1 ounce each of the cheesy mashed potato mixture.
- In a shallow bowl, beat the egg.
- Dip the stuffed jalapeno peppers into the egg, then coat with bread crumbs.
- In a deep frying pan, add about 1 inch of oil and heat thoroughly.
- Deep fry jalapeno poppers about 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Or, lose the oil and bake at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes, or until peppers are heated through and turning golden brown.
- Serve with sour cream!
