Alton Brown’s White Trash – Delicious!

Alton Brown’s White Trash will definitely be on my menu for games during football season! Great during the holidays too!!!

 

Alton once posted this on his website and said that he always cranks out a bushel or two of it during the holidays.

He also said “Dole this stuff out carefully. It is highly habit-forming.”

I totally agree and for this reason, have no earthly idea how many servings it makes! Depends on how much you can eat!

LOL Especially good to anyone who likes the salty-sweet combination.

WE BET YOU’VE NEVER MADE HARD BOILED EGGS LIKE THIS BEFORE

Hard-cooked-eggs

There are a ton of ways to enjoy your morning protein and having them made this way was really interesting. I would have never thought to make my eggs this way ever.

Now, you would think that they would taste the same after being cooked this way right? Well…. you are wrong!

When you make your eggs using this new method they taste a lot better and clean-up is a heck of a lot easier surprisingly.

You are going to flip when you see this! The best part is that all you have to do is throw them in and then they’re done!

If you didn’t think there was an easier way to get hard boiled eggs well, there is and it means putting them in the oven.

Be sure to Like Foodgasm Recipes on Facebook and Foodgasm on Pinterest for more great recipes.

Step By Step Directions To Follow

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees or 350 if your oven runs cooler

Place eggs individually in a mini muffin tin and cook them for 30 minutes, then place them in cool water for about 10 minutes.

Finished!

Baking them in the oven actually has the eggs come out a little creamier than if you were to hard-boil them in water. This is the best way to make eggs if you need them in bulk and they will cook perfectly all throughout.

Enjoy!

Loaded Cheese Stuffed Mashed Potato Balls

Ingredients

4 Cups Leftover/Cold Mashed Potatoes – prepared to your liking
1/2 Cup Sliced Green Onions
3/4 Cup Chopped Cooked Bacon
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
2 Eggs
Block of Cheddar Cheese – Cut into small cubes
1 Cup Flour
1 Cup Bread Crumbs
Oil for frying
Salt

Directions

Place cold mashed potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Add Green Onion, Chopped Bacon, Garlic Powder, Black Pepper, and 1 egg – mix well.

With lightly floured hands – pick up a tablespoon sized ball of potato mixture and flatten into a small pancake. Place cube of Cheddar in the center and wrap the potato mixture around the cheese. Repeat.

In three separate bowls, add Flour, Bread Crumbs, and remaining egg (whisked). Coat the potato ball in flour, then egg, then bread crumbs. Coat once more with egg and once more with bread crumbs. Set aside – store in fridge while you wait to fry.

In a medium pan heat oil over medium/high heat (to approximately 350˚F). Fry the potatoes in batches until browned on all sides. Transfer fried potato balls to paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt. Once all potatoes are fried – transfer to a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven for 5 minutes at 400˚F (200˚C). Enjoy!
