I came across this recipe today from the Kraft foods website and thought I would share it here. I am thinking to trying these on Sunday for our Superbowl snacks. I've never met a potato I didn't love! {#emotions_dlg.tt1}

Velveeta Potato Bites

2 lbs. baking potatoes (about 5), peeled, cut into chunks

2 green onions, thinly sliced

1 egg, beaten

1/4 tsp. black pepper

4 oz. VELVEETA Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product, cut into 24 cubes

1 pouch SHAKE 'N BAKE Extra Crispy Seasoned Coating Mix

1-1/2 cups TACO BELL® HOME ORIGINALS® Thick 'N Chunky Salsa

COOK potatoes in boiling water in large saucepan 15 to 20 min. or until tender; drain. Cool 10 min. Mash potatoes until smooth. Add onions, egg and pepper; mix just until blended.

HEAT oven to 400ºF. Roll potato mixture into 24 balls, using about 2 Tbsp. for each. Insert 1 VELVEETA cube into center of each ball, completely enclosing VELVEETA cube with potato mixture. Place potato balls on baking sheet covered with coating mix; turn until evenly coated. Place on clean baking sheet.

BAKE 14 to 16 min. or until heated through. Serve with salsa.
