Hole In One Potatoes Recipes

HOLE-IN-ONE FATHER'S DAY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
• In medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder; set aside. In small bowl, mix hot water and cocoa until dissolved; set aside.
• In large bowl, beat shortening with electric mixer on medium speed 30 seconds. Gradually add granulated sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat 2 minutes longer. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla. On low speed, alternately add flour mixture, about a third at a time, and cocoa mixture, about half at a time, beating just until blended.
• Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes; remove cupcakes from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• In large bowl, mix powdered sugar and butter with spoon or electric mixer on low speed. Stir in 1 tablespoon vanilla and 3 tablespoons milk. Gradually beat in just enough remaining milk to make frosting smooth and spreadable. Frost cooled cupcakes.
• On one side of each cupcake, sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon graham cracker crumbs for "sand." On other side of cupcake, sprinkle generous 1/2 teaspoon green sprinkles for "grass."
• Cut straws into 3 1/2-inch lengths. Cut colored paper into flags. Tape each flag to one end of each straw piece; poke into cupcake. Gently press one gum ball into each cupcake for golf ball.

EGG IN A HOLE

Steps:

• Melt the bacon grease in a non-stick pan over low heat.
• Cut a 1 1/2 to 2-inch hole from the center of the bread slice; lay in the hot skillet. When the side facing down is lightly toasted, about 2 minutes, flip and crack the egg into the hole; season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the egg is cooked and mostly firm. Flip again and cook 1 minute more to assure doneness on both sides. Serve immediately.

HOLE IN ONE POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven or covered BBQ grill to 350°F.
• Wash potatoes and cut a thin slice off each end.
• Plunge an apple corer through one cut end (lengthwise) as far as it will go, twist and remove.
• Sprinkle bacon with pepper, top with a scallion"tail" and fold the bacon over the scallion.
• Insert into the potato, packing in the bacon and scallion with a finger, trim if necessary to leave room at both ends for a"plug".
• Cut slices off the potato cores, wide enough to plug the holes, when the slices are turned sideways.
• Plug both ends of the potatoes, wrap in foil and bake 50- 60 minutes or until done.

HEARTY ONE PAN BREAKFAST

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool and chop.
• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Add the onions, peppers, garlic, tomatoes, and potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and cook until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle vegetable mixture with cheese. Crack eggs into the pan a couple of inches apart. Cover pan and allow eggs to cook to desired firmness. Remove pan from heat and serve.

MINI BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Have potatoes cooked and ready to go- they should be warm, but cool enough to handle.
• Slice potatoes in half crosswise.
• Using a melon baller, scoop out a small portion of cooked potato flesh from each potato half.
• Season to taste with some salt and pepper.
• Fill each hole with a dollop of sour cream.
• Sprinkle with chopped olives, chives, and bacon.
• If you want extra decadence, drizzle a little melted butter into the hollows before adding sour cream.

HASH BROWN EGG-IN-A-HOLE

Steps:

• Grate the peeled potatoes on a box grater and add the grated potatoes to a large bowl filled with cold water. Strain the grated potatoes in a colander and rinse them under cold running water. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible with your hands, then wrap the grated potatoes in a cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
• Combine the grated potatoes, grated Cheddar cheese, 2 teaspoons of the salt and some pepper in a large bowl.
• Combine the ketchup with the harissa paste in a small bowl and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a 6-inch skillet over medium heat until bubbling, 1 to 2 minutes. Add a quarter of the grated potato mixture to the skillet in a thin layer and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked hash brown disk to a sheet tray.
• Cook three more batches of the hash brown disks, adding 1 tablespoon of the butter and a quarter of the remaining grated potato mixture each time.
• Cut a hole in the center of each of the hash brown disks with a 2-inch biscuit cutter.
• Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in the skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 hash brown disk with a hole and crack 1 egg into the hole you created. Place a lid on top of the skillet to trap the steam and cook the eggs until they set, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Gently transfer the Hash Brown Egg-in-a-Hole to a plate. Repeat with the remaining butter, hash brown disks and eggs in three batches.
• Serve drizzled with the harissa ketchup.
