Total Time: 50 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Open the package of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Using your hands, gently flatten each biscuit into a larger, thinner circle.
- Place one flattened biscuit into each muffin cup, pressing the dough up the sides to create a small cup or boat shape.
- Spoon the loaded mashed potato mixture into each biscuit-lined muffin cup, filling them nearly to the top. Be careful not to overfill.
- Sprinkle additional shredded cheese and bacon crumbles on top of each filled roll for extra flavor and visual appeal.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuit edges are golden brown and the filling is heated through.
- Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes to help them set.
- Carefully remove the rolls from the muffin tin using a small spatula or butter knife. Garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired.
- Serve warm as a delicious side dish or appetizer. These loaded mashed potato rolls are best enjoyed immediately while still hot and crispy.
Tips
- Use leftover mashed potatoes for extra flavor and to reduce prep time. Cold mashed potatoes work best for mixing and holding their shape.
- Make sure to press the biscuit dough firmly into the muffin tin, creating a good "cup" shape to hold all the delicious filling.
- Don't overfill the rolls – leave a small space at the top to prevent overflow during baking.
- For extra crispiness, brush the biscuit edges with melted butter before baking.
- Let the rolls cool for a few minutes after baking to help them set and make them easier to remove from the tin.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or gouda for unique flavor profiles.
- These rolls are best served immediately, but you can reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to restore their crispy texture.
