Country Style Appetizers
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 32 minutes
Yield: 4 dozen appetizers
Ingredients:
- 1 cup mashed potatoes
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 packet country-style soup mix (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). This ensures that it’s perfectly heated and ready to go when your appetizers are prepared.
-
Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, butter, flour, and optionally, the country-style soup mix. Mix them together until a dough-like consistency forms. This mixture will serve as the base for your appetizers, providing a hearty and comforting flavor.
-
Roll out the dough: On a floured surface or board, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch in thickness. This step ensures that your appetizers have a uniform thickness, allowing them to bake evenly in the oven.
-
Cut into shapes: Use cookie cutters to cut the dough into your desired shapes. Whether you prefer traditional shapes like circles or squares, or more festive shapes for special occasions, the choice is yours! Get creative and have fun with it.
-
Arrange on baking sheet: Place the cut-out shapes onto an ungreased baking sheet, making sure to leave some space between each appetizer. This allows for proper air circulation during baking, ensuring that they cook evenly and develop a crispy exterior.
-
Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the appetizers for approximately 12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges. Keep an eye on them as they bake to prevent overcooking.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the appetizers from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. These country-style treats are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven, but they can also be served at room temperature for a delicious snack any time of day.
-
Enjoy: Serve these delightful Country Style Appetizers as a tasty starter for your next gathering or as a comforting snack for cozy nights in. They’re sure to be a hit with family and friends alike!
