Baked Parmesan potato candy is not the type of potato candy that’s usually kept in the fridge, it is oven baked until golden brown. You would expect the cheese to melt once baking is done, and that is one of its delicious features. The richness of potatoes and Parmesan cheese will certainly load up your stomachs. This potato candy can be served as an exquisite side dish or dessert.
Ingredients
2 lbs russet potatoes, baked and cool enough to handle (910 g)
3 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated (75 g)
¾ teaspoon salt (3.75 g)
¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (1.25 g)
¼ cup chives, finely chopped (1.25 g)
3 tablespoons olive oil (45 ml)
1½ tablespoons milk (22.5 ml)
Instructions
First, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Peel baked potatoes in broad strips, cutting thinly but leaving some potato on the peel (about ¼ inch thick).
Use the potato peelings to outline six cups in a muffin tin.
Mash the potatoes in a mixing bowl, and mix remaining ingredients until well-blended. Mixture should be moist enough and should stay together when pressed, not dry and crumbly.
If mixture is dry, add a tbsp. of milk and olive oil.
Using an ice cream scoop or soup spoon, scoop mashed potato mixture and pour into the muffin tin potato cups.
Pack firmly and Bake at 400 degrees F for 25-30 minutes until nicely browned on top. You can also freeze these unbaked.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
Remove baked potato candies from the muffin tin cups and place attractively on a large plate.
