Simply Heavenly Potatoes 5fix Recipes

Steps:

• Beat together all ingredients, except butter, parsley and paprika and spoon into a greased 9x9x2" casserole dish, dot top with butter; sprinkle parsley and paprika over top.
• Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. Bake in a 400' oven for 35 minutes or until warm throughout.

Steps:

• Measure potatoes into a medium mixing bowl. Add pancake mix and mix well. Add beaten eggs and dill and stir to combine thoroughly. Allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Measure one teaspoon of cream cheese and roll into a ball about the size of a marble. Using hands, scoop about a tablespoon of potato mixture and coat cream cheese ball so that it is completely covered with potato mixture. Form into a ball using gentle pressure just so potatoes stick together. This is a little messy, but kind of fun! Gently drop a few at a time into hot oil (350 degrees) with a slotted spoon and fry until golden, about 3 or 4 minutes each batch. Drain on paper towels. Allow to cool a little as cheese inside gets very hot!

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes according to package directions. Use a ricer or fork to blend (do not mash). Some small pieces of the potatoes should remain. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• In the same skillet, fry the bacon over medium low heat until crisp, about 15 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Reserve half of the bacon grease in the skillet and discard the rest. When bacon cools, crumble, transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Heat the remaining bacon grease in the skillet over medium low heat, add the onions and saute until carmelized, about 15-20 minutes. Transfer 1 cup to a bowl and set aside. Reserve the remaining onions in a seperate bowl.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta shells and following package directions, cook al dente; about 10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
• Combine the crumbled bacon and 1 cup of the carmelized onions in the bowl with the potatoes. Add in 1 cup of the cheese and stir to blend.
• Add the remaining 1/4 cup cheese to the reserved onions, stir to blend and set aside.
• Lightly grease a 9inch x 13inch baking dish. Stuff each shell with a portion of the potato mixture and place in the dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, uncover and place a dollup of the reserved cheese and onion mixture on top of each shell.
• Return to the oven uncovered and bake for an additional 10 minutes or place under the broiler (low) for 5 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, place 3 shells on each plate and serve.
