Buffalo Blue Cheese Potato Croquettes have soft and creamy Ranch flavored mashed potatoes on the inside and crispy crust covered with spicy Buffalo Wing sauce on the outside and make an awesome side dish or appetizer for the holidays or any time of year!
Mashed potatoes are a traditional side dish that is expected at our Thanksgiving table. It would not be a holiday at our house without mashed potatoes. There might even be a mutiny if there were no mashed potatoes on the table.
While my extended family loves tradition and their mashed potatoes, I love to add a new twist to holiday dishes and see if I can start a new tradition. While I love traditional mashed potatoes, I also love big, bold flavors. That is the reason I love these new Idaho Spuds Creamy Ranch Mashed Potatoes. They add a delicious ranch flavor to mashed potatoes and save time as well. These Idaho Spuds Mashed Potatoes can ready in only 4 minutes! With five down right delicious flavors, including Roasted Garlic, Country Buttered, Supreme Baked, 3 Cheese, and Creamy Ranch, you are certain to find one you love.
In these Buffalo Blue Cheese Potato Croquettes, I added big, bold flavors to traditional potatoes. First I started with the Idaho Spuds Creamy Ranch Mashed Potatoes and added crumbled blue cheese and made potato croquettes. But I did not stop there. I needed to add more big, bold flavors! So I coated these babies in Buffalo Wing Sauce! Yum! I love these because not only are they delicious with a spicy kick, they are versatile. They can be served as an appetizer or side dish.
Why not try these Buffalo Blue Cheese Potato Croquettes at your house and start your own holiday tradition. Then after you go home for the holidays then go to ours to recover. What does that mean?
