Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack for extra crispiness.
2. Boil Potatoes:
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook until just tender (about 8–10 minutes). Drain and mash lightly—leave some texture.
3. Mix Filling:
In a bowl, mix the mashed potatoes with cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper.
4. Form Bombs:
Using your hands, shape the potato-cheese mixture into small balls (bombs). Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Garlic Butter Topping:
Mix the melted butter and minced garlic together. Brush each potato bomb generously with the garlic butter.
6. Bake:
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Garnish & Serve:
Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm, ideally with a dipping sauce like sour cream or ranch.
