Mashed Potato Stuffing Bites Recipe

With Thanksgiving fast approaching, these mashed potato stuffing bites are super delicious. The savory flavor of the stuffing combined with mashed potatoes, rolled into bite-sized balls, coated, then fried to a golden brown and served with country gravy or turkey gravy makes for one delicious Thanksgiving appetizer recipe. Crispy on the outside, savory on the inside. Talk about scrumptious. These are delicious!

Mashed Potato Stuffing Bites are crispy bites of savory stuffing and mashed potatoes fried to perfection.

These are also great to make using leftover stuffing and mashed potatoes or just when a craving hit for mashed potatoes and stuffing. We always have plenty of leftovers. Not only leftover turkey, but leftover mashed potatoes, stuffing and pretty much everything else because I cook for an army. That is no joke either. I always find the biggest turkey just so we can have leftovers. This is how I look at it, if you are going to make such a huge Thanksgiving dinner, there might as well be plenty enough leftover to enjoy throughout the week.

Stove Top Stuffing Recipes

For this easy recipe, we used Stove Top® Stuffing Mix. We wanted something quick and easy, and these mashed potato stuffing bites are definitely super simple. A delicious Thanksgiving appetizer recipe that can be served prior to Thanksgiving dinner or can be made with the leftovers the day after.

What To Make With Leftover Mashed Potatoes

So if there are any leftover mashed potatoes when everything is said and done, these are a delicious little snack to make. We always have boxes of stuffing mix in the pantry so making these little bites can be a breeze any time throughout the year.

    Do you think these could be baked instead of fried? They look great! But I don’t really fry stuff.
