Potato rolls with bacon

To prepare Potato Rolls with Bacon, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Ingredients:

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
• 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese (optional)
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• Oil or cooking spray for greasing
• Additional bacon slices for topping (optional)

Instructions:

1. Boil the Potatoes: Place the diced potatoes in a pot of boiling water and cook until they are tender. Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes.
2. Mash the Potatoes: Transfer the cooked potatoes to a large mixing bowl and mash them with a potato masher until smooth. Let the mashed potatoes cool completely.
3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet with oil or cooking spray.
4. Prepare the Dough: In the bowl with the mashed potatoes, add the beaten egg and melted butter. Mix well to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the potato mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
5. Add Bacon and Cheese (Optional): If you’re using grated cheddar cheese and chopped green onions, mix them into the dough along with the crumbled bacon.

1. Shape the Rolls: Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into rolls. You can make them round or slightly flattened.
2. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the shaped rolls onto the greased baking sheet. If desired, you can top each roll with a bacon slice for extra flavor and presentation.
3. Bake the Rolls: Bake the potato rolls in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown on the outside.
4. Cool and Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the delicious Potato Rolls with Bacon as a side dish or a tasty snack!

These rolls are best when served warm and can be enjoyed on their own or paired with your favorite dipping sauce. They make a delightful addition to any meal or gathering!
