Creamy Fried Festive Bites

These Deep Fried Mash Potato Cubes are a Must-See

— July 31, 2012 — Lifestyle
These deep fried mash potato cubes transform this holiday meal staple into a portable and delectable bite-sized treat. Developed by the masterminds of DudeFoods, this fried fare is simple and easy to make.

After whipping up some standard mash potatoes -- instant is acceptable -- the creamy concoction is frozen into ice cube trays for several hours. If you are lazy like myself, consider picking up the pre-frozen mash potato cubes that are popping up in grocery chains. After battering these babies up in dredge, the bite-sized morsels receive a golden brown makeover. These delectable deep fried mash potato cubes are a fun and festive alternative to hash browns and pot stickers. Skewer a couple together and serve gravy on the side for a lip-smacking hors d'oeuvre.

Healthy? Probably not. Mouth-watering delicious? Most definitely.
