LOADED HAM & CHEESE POTATO DIPPERS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mash the potatoes until there are no lumps.
• Add the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, bacon, scallions, salt, pepper, and onion powder.
• Mix until smooth.
• Transfer the mixture to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Smooth out the top.
• Lay a 1-inch (2.5 cm) square of cheddar cheese in the center of a slice of ham. Fold the edges of the ham over the cheese, making a tight parcel. Repeat with the remaining ham and cheese.
• Press a ham-and-cheese square into the potato mixture, making sure to leave 1 inch (2-cm) of space on all sides. Repeat with the rest of the squares.
• Push the potato mixture around to cover up and seal the tops of the ham squares, then smooth out again.
• Freeze for 30 minutes, then slice the mixture into squares so each square has a ham square in the middle.
• Place the flour, eggs, and panko into 3 separate medium bowls.
• Dip a square into the flour, shaking off any excess. Dredge in the egg, then in the panko. Repeat with the remaining squares.
• Heat the oil in a large pot until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
• Fry the potato squares two at a time until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes, then drain on paper towels.
• Garnish the potato dippers with shredded Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Serve warm.
• Enjoy!

HAM & CHEESE EGG DIPPERS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Fill a small pot two-thirds full with water and bring to a boil.
• With a paring knife, poke a small hole into the wider end of the egg. With a spoon, gently lower eggs into the boiling water and boil for precisely 5 minutes.
• Cut the cheddar cheese into strips, 4 inches (10 cm) long, ¼ inch (½ cm) thick.
• Roll out a piece of white bread until flat and dense.
• Place a slice of ham on the bread, then top with a strip of cheddar. Roll up the bread (like a jelly roll) until cheese and ham are entirely covered.
• Fry the bread rolls for about 4 minutes in a buttered sauté pan over medium-high heat. Turn halfway through when rolls are lightly browned.
• When eggs are done, carefully transfer them to a bowl of ice water.
• Meanwhile, use an egg carton to cut out egg holders for each egg.
• Take eggs out of ice water. Serve with the ham and cheese dunkers.
• Enjoy!
