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!

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.
