Potato cakes

My supervisor's birthday was this weekend, so I wanted to make her a little something to take to work tomorrow. The challenge? She doesn't really like sweets. What she loves is potatoes, so I tried something a little different.

First, I made some mashed potatoes. I separated out half and colored them yellow with a little food coloring.

Next, I placed some cupcake liners in a cupcake tin. Because the potatoes were so pliable, I put them in the freezer for about 20 minutes to set up.

Then I put in a little cheese and bacon.

"Frosted" the top with some remaining potatoes and finely grated some cheese for sprinkles and ground some additional sea salt for sprinkles.

We'll see how she likes them. Hopefully they'll microwave well.
