CRISPY POTATO BALLS

Steps:

• Mix together the Mashed Potatoes, flour, egg, parsley, Parmesan, mozzarella and black pepper in a bowl. Place the breadcrumbs on a large plate.
• Form the potato mix into 12 golf-ball-sized balls. The mixture will be a little sticky, so wet your hands a little as you go. Place the balls directly on the breadcrumbs and roll each ball in the breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure they stick well. Put the breadcrumbed balls on a plate.
• Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 375 degrees F, or until the mixture bubbles when a breadcrumb is added.
• Add the balls to the oil and fry until golden brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes total. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle immediately with salt.
• Garnish with more Parmesan and parsley.
• Peel and cut the potatoes into pieces of approximately the same size. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until a fork easily slides into the potatoes with no resistance and the potatoes almost, but not totally, fall apart, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Drain the potatoes in a large colander. Place them back into the dry pot and put the pot on the stove. Mash the potatoes over a low heat, allowing all the steam to escape.
• Turn off the stove and add the butter, cream cheese and half-and-half. Mash, mash, mash! Add the seasoned salt and black pepper.
• Stir well and place in a medium baking dish. Throw a few pats of butter over the top of the potatoes and place bake until the butter has melted and the potatoes are warmed through, a few minutes.

AIR FRYER POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, seasoned salt, paprika and Italian seasoning. Toss well to combine.
• Heat an air fryer to 400 degrees for 2 minutes. Place the potatoes in the basket and cook for 10 minutes. Removing the basket and shake the potatoes. Return the potatoes to the air fryer for 8-10 more minutes, until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Serve immediately.

SKILLET SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the potatoes, onion and garlic. Stir and cook until the potatoes and onions begin to soften, 6 to 7 minutes. Season with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Add the cream, then bring to a low simmer and cover. Cook until the potatoes are cooked through, another 6 to 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, set the oven to broil and move the rack to the center.
• Remove the lid from the skillet and sprinkle the ham over the top followed by the cheese. Place the skillet under the broiler and watch until the cheese is melted and brown, about 5 minutes.
• Garnish with the sour cream and green onions.

ROASTED PARMESAN POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• To a large bowl, add the melted butter, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, some black pepper and 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan, then mix together. Add the potato slices and toss to coat.
• Coat 2 large baking sheets with cooking spray. Spread the potato slices in one layer on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle the potatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan and bake until the potatoes are tender, crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer them to a serving dish and sprinkle with the parsley.
