Ingredients

Select ingredients:

2 cups mashed potatoes, prepared your favorite way

2 packages of refrigerated pie crust dough, or make your own piecrust (enough for two pies, tops and bottoms)

4 ounces cheddar cheese, grated

1/2 cup sour cream

4 pieces of bacon (cooked and drained on paper towel to remove grease)

1/4 cup chopped onion

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

To the mashed potatoes, add the bacon, onion, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir until thoroughly combined.
Using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut 3-inch circles in the dough. Place each dough circle in the cup of a mini muffin tin.
Into each muffin cup, add 1 rounded teaspoon of the mashed potato mixture. Top with 1 teaspoon of shredded cheese, and then fold the piecrust into pleats around the edge.
In a preheated 375-degree oven, bake the tartlets for 20 to 25 minutes or until the piecrust is golden brown.
Remove the tartlets from the oven and allow to cool slightly, then top with 1 teaspoon of sour cream immediately prior to serving.
