Ingredients
1
cup
flour
1
tsp
salt
1
tsp
baking powder
2
cups
mashed potatoes
4
tbsp
bacon fat
1
cup
cheddar cheese
shredded
1/3
cup
colby-jack
shredded
2-3
green onions/chives
slices
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350.
Mix the flour, salt, and baking powder together.
Add the potatoes and mix ingredients.
Melt the bacon fat and pour in.
Knead lightly.
Add a little flour to your countertop so the dough doesn’t stick.
Place dough on counter.
Add the cheddar cheese. By this time the bacon fat has cooled so your cheese is less likely to melt.
Knead your dough again.
Divide dough into balls shape into patties.
Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Place patties on baking sheet.
Use your knife to make the traditional criss-cross shape on the top. The Irish did this to bless their bread. It is also completely optional.
Sprinkle colby-jack and green onions/chives on top of each potato bread.
Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown on both sides.
