Loaded Mashed Potato Bombs

Ingredients

1 1/4 lbs. potatoes (I used a yellow skinned potato)
3 tablespoons buttermilk (or milk)
1/8 cup sour cream
OR
Left over mashed potatoes (or packaged mashed potatoes)
Other
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1/2 tablespoon sliced chives (or green onions)
3 pieces of bacon cooked crisp and chopped or 2 tablespoons bacon bits
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
10 3/4" cubes of cheddar cheese
1 roll of biscuit dough (10 biscuits)
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mashed Potatoes
Wash potatoes and poke with a fork a few times. Bake potatoes in oven 1 hour or microwave until soft. Allow to cool slighty. Slice each potato in 1/2 length wise. Scoop out the pulp and mash potatoes, buttermilk, sour cream, butter, garlic powder, salt and pepper until smooth. Stir in chives, bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. Let cool completely.
Assembly
Wrap 1 1/2 tablespoons of mashed potatoes around each cube of cheese. Roll each biscuit with a rolling pin until big enough to enclose the potato ball. Be sure to seal each biscuit completely to hold the cheese in.
Place seam side down on a pan. Bake 15-20 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.
