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 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.
