This is a favorite of ours for extra mashed potatoes after the holidays

Party Potatoes

These creamy tasty potatoes can be made the day before and stored in the refrigerator until you're ready to pop them in the oven (I often do that). The garlic powder and chives add zip, and the shredded cheese adds color. —Sharon Mensing, Greenfield, Iowa

• 1 teaspoon minced chives

Next Ingredient:  POSTER'S CHOICE 

[walker]

OK, my choice will be BACON.  I chose this recipe because it brings back memories when my mother would make it.  I never got her recipe and found this online a few years ago....very close.  Makes a good appetizer or fix for a luncheon.

BACON Cream Cheese Bites

1 loaf of English Muffin Bread or Pepperidge Farm White 

   Bread, crusts cut off

1 12 oz. tub cream cheese spread*

1/2 cup chopped fresh chives*

1 lb. BACON, regular cut

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.  Set aside.

Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on each slice of bread.  Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of chives on top of cream cheese.  Starting at one end, roll each slice of bread into a tight cylinder.  Wrap a slice of BACON around each cylinder, spiraling to cover the whole piece of bread.  Cut each cylinder in half.  (Do not use toothpicks; may burn in oven.)

Place on baking sheet until crispy and BACON is cooked through, about 20-30 minutes.  Serve warm.

* Or buy the combined cream cheese with chives spread.

NEXT INGREDIENT ..... SOY SAUCE
