I love serving these Bacon and Mashed Potato Knots especially at Christmas time where each serving is always delivered as a surprise treat that no one ever expects. Mini dough buns glazed with garlic butter and stuffed with mashed potatoes, crispy bacon bits and melted cheddar cheese.
Serve yours with a side portion of marinara sauce for dipping and dunking. Fun and tasty always works with my family.
To make Bacon and Mashed Potato Knots, you will need the following ingredients:
Stir yeast in warm water and set aside for 3-5 minutes until activated and foamy.
Once yeast is activativated, add honey and flour and mix well until a ball is formed.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times until smooth and not tacky.
Place in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside to rise until doubled in volume.
Preheat oven to 375 °F.
While the dough is rising, melt butter and add garlic. Simmer for about 5-10 minutes.
Once risen, punch through dough to release excess air and divide into 2-inch pieces about ¼-inch thick.
Brush dough with prepare garlic butter and top with bacon, cheese and a spoonful of mashed potatoes. Fold and bring the edges together to form a little ball with stuffing inside. Brush with remaining garlic butter around the outside of each roll.
Transfer rolls to a muffin tray and bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden and cooked in the center.
Cool slightly then serve and enjoy!

I made these Bacon and Mashed Potato Knots for my family Christmas party, and they were a hit! Everyone loved the cheesy goodness wrapped in the dough. It was such a fun surprise, and the kids couldn’t get enough of them dipped in marinara.
Delicious!
Superb delight treat.
superb flavor combo
So easy, kids love. Made these for family gathering, and they vanished quickly.
I like how you can serve those with a variety of dips like cocktail sauce or barbeque and it will taste great.
The taste was good..though the buns felt a bit dry.
I don't really like garlic but it tasted okay.
My little devils loved those buns, your recipe gave them a smile which was followed by my smile, thank you!
I am a cheese lover so only having cheddar in there wasn't enough for me, I added mozzarella in and it was Perfection!
I got them done on my first try, the instructions are clear and on point which is something I rarely find online, thank you!
Loved the crispy bacon in them, I bet they'd be great for a party.
