Fried Mashed Potato Balls

Round 3 of the Crazy Cooking Challenge

Mashed Potatoes

While searching around for the best bloggy

Mashed Potato recipe we knew we wanted

a recipe for left-overs.

Blissfully Delicious

had the perfect recipe.
And with a name like Blissfully Delicious,

 can you make something bad?

We think not!

Our hot creamy mashed potatoes are full of, garlic, sour cream, butter, and seasoning.

But after sitting in the fridge they loose some of their yumm factor.

 We did make a few additions to Blissfully Delicious' recipe by adding crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.

** Little BIG tip**

Make extra because this is one recipe that you will want

left-overs.

We knew at once Blissfully Delicious was a girl after our own hearts when she
