Mashed Potato Bites

[astarra]

Judy - I could kiss you!! I have been trying (unsuccessfully) for months to get this recipe converted...and here it is already done for me.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

It would be interesting to try this using the piping nozzle.

I'm glad I have made you happy astarra - hope the girls like them.

They will look so much nicer with fancy nozzels Wonder.

Judy, you don't think the mixture would be too thick to get through the nozzle easily?

[judydawn]

Not if you use a nozzle with a good opening, even the plain round one would work Wonder.  I'll give it a try with some different tips when I receive them all so that you can see which one works best.

You sure did put a smile on my face Judy... you are a champion! 
The girls will love them I'm sure, but it was DH who has been telling me I just HAVE to keep trying to get it right, (he has loved all the failed trial runs) so it is really for him that I will be trying them out. 
Thanks again.

these look just like the ones I used to buy in ww, no doubt full of badness, now I can have them guilt free, thanks again Judy xx

Thanks for bumping this astarra, I've been looking for new ways to do potatoes!

[astarra]

No worries Amy...but Judy sort of did it - well she put the link up in the shopping thread (I think it was) so I just clicked...and viola!! Happy happy me!!

Now I'm wondering what else is hiding in the depths of this forum...

[Amy :-)]

There must be so many buried treasures on here.....

Thanks Judy for posting the link that made astarra bump the thread which then ended up in my unread posts

I received the 1M Wilton tip from Wonder this morning (thanks Wonder  ) so decided to have a go at these potato bites using 3 different tips I have.  Looking at the photos, I wonder if anyone can pick the one I did without a tip.  In other words, it is a lot of fuss and mess to go to when I think they all look muchy muchy.  You need a very good piping bag, the mashed potato goes through the tips quite easily but I split a couple of plastic bags in the process and had to seek out my nylon one.  Tips don't always fit in them though as the end which is cut off is too big so I had potato going everywhere.  It is best to leave the potato to cool a bit but I haven't ever had the patience to let it cool completely so maybe that would work better.

For me though, the simplest way is spooning a dob onto a tray and running a fork around it before spraying with olive oil.

I'm going to say its the middle one on the very left - the biggun
