Swenson's Potato Teezers Copycat Recipe
Crispy triangles of mashed potatoes, jalapenos, and cheese, deep-fried to perfection and served with a side of ranch dressing.
Equipment
- deep fryer optional
Ingredients
- 4 cups cold mashed potatoes
- ½ cup flour
- 12 oz Velveeta cheese block
- 2 jalapenos diced
- ½ cup panko
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the deep fryer to 400°F. In a small bowl, melt the block of Velveeta cheese until just chunky.
- In a larger bowl, combine the melted Velveeta cheese with the mashed potatoes. Add the diced jalapenos and stir well to combine.
- Gradually add the flour, a few tablespoons at a time, until a thick dough forms. Use a tablespoon to measure rounded spoonfuls of the dough. Place each spoonful in a small bowl filled with panko. Thoroughly coat each ball with panko and shape them into small elongated triangles.
- Drop batches of 5-6 teezers into the preheated fryer and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the teezers are golden brown.
- Remove the teezers from the fryer and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Season the teezers with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the potato teezers alongside a cup of ranch dressing and a homemade Galley Boy for the full 'Swensons at home' experience. Enjoy!
