Ingredients
Tater Kegs
Ranch Dipping Sauce
Preparation of Tater Kegs
1. Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into quarters. Boil in salted water for about 15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool.
2. Mash the Potatoes
Once cooled, mash the potatoes in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps.
3. Mix in Fillings
Add the crumbled bacon, diced jalapeño, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until combined.
4. Form the Kegs
Take a portion of the potato mixture and shape it into a small keg (about the size of a large egg). Repeat until you’ve used all the mixture.
5. Coat the Kegs
Roll each keg in flour, then dip into the beaten egg, and finally roll in flour again to coat.
6. Heat Oil
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
7. Fry the Kegs
Carefully lower the kegs into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Ranch Dipping Sauce
8. Serve
Pour ranch dressing into a small bowl or ramekin for dipping. Serve alongside the freshly fried tater kegs.
