HOMEMADE 'TATO BITES

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the potatoes and sweet potatoes and boil until they can be easily pierced with a knife, but still have some resistance in the center, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and let cool.
• Use a box grater to finely shred the cooled potatoes into a large bowl. If necessary, remove any excess water by pressing the shredded potatoes with paper towels.
• Pour 2 inches of the oil into a large Dutch oven. Heat the oil until it registers 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
• Meanwhile, stir the flour and Miss Brown's House Seasoning into the potatoes. Shape the potatoes into 42 discs, about 1 teaspoon of potato mixture per disc. Working in batches, fry the potato bites until browned and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined wire rack to drain and cool. Keep warm in a low oven or serve immediately with ketchup.
• Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, sweet paprika, pepper and salt in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container. 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons

LEANING TOWER OF PIZZA BITES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F ( 220°C) and line 4 baking sheets, or as many as you have, with parchment paper.
• Assemble the tower: Secure the 3 longer dowels together using rubber bands. Trim 2 inches (5 CM) off the bottom at a 30° angle. The tower should be approximately 22 inches (55 CM) tall. Attach the 4-inch dowel to the top of the tower using a wooden skewer.
• Wrap the entire tower in aluminum foil, securing with cellophane tape, ensuring there is no styrofoam showing. Attach the tower to the cardboard using a hot glue gun. Attach the cardboard base to a large serving platter with masking tape.
• Make the pepperoni filling: In a medium bowl, mix together 1½ cups shredded mozzarella, 1 cup (260 g) marinara sauce, and the chopped pepperoni.
• Make the garlic butter: In a separate medium bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic, parsley, and grated Parmesan.
• Take a halved roll and flatten with your hand to about 2 inches (5 CM) in diameter. Fill with ½ teaspoon of the pepperoni filling. Pinch the edges of the dough together around the filling to form a ball and roll to seal. Repeat until half of the rolls are filled with the pepperoni filling and arrange on 2 of the prepared baking sheets. Brush with the garlic butter.
• Bake the pepperoni bites for 18-20 minutes, until golden. Let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• While the pepperoni bites bake, make the buffalo chicken bites: In a separate medium bowl, mix together the remaining 1½ cups (150 G) shredded mozzarella, 1 cup (260 G) marinara, the shredded chicken, and buffalo sauce.
• In a small bowl, mix together the egg yolks and water.
• Flatten and fill the remaining halved rolls with the buffalo chicken filling and arrange on the 2 remaining prepared baking sheets. Brush with the egg wash.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown and slightly darker than the pepperoni bites. Let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• Use toothpicks to attach the cooled bites to the tower, starting at the base and placing close together so no foil shows through. Alternate between rows of pepperoni and buffalo chicken bites. Continue until you've reached the top and all of the bites have been used.
• Use toothpicks to attach the mini mozzarella balls to the tower, creating a ring around the tower every few rows of pizza bites.
• Add the remaining 2 cups (520 G) marinara sauce to a small pot and warm over medium-low heat, about 2 minutes. Pour into the base of the platter.
• Arrange the basil leaves at the base of the tower to resemble the lawn of the Tower of Pisa.
• Add a strip of basil and a strip of pepperoni to the slice of mozzarella to resemble the Italian flag. Secure to the top of the tower with a toothpick.
• Serve while the marinara sauce is warm.
• Enjoy!
