Potato & Cheese Dog Treats

Ingredients:

• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 10 ounces Idaho® russet potato, peeled and cut into 2˝ pieces
• 1 egg
• ½ cup cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Place rolled oats in the bowl of a food processor and grind them until they are almost a flour consistency, 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
3. Fill a small saucepan with water and add cut-up potato. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook potato until it is easily pierced with a knife, about 10 minutes. Drain the potato and set it aside.
4. In a large mixing bowl, add ground oats, egg, cheese, coconut oil, and dried parsley.
5. Press cooked potato through a ricer, or mash with a potato masher, then add to mixing bowl.
6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
7. Roll out dough to ⅛” thick and cut out treats with a 2” cookie cutter, or use a small cookie scoop to portion treats, flattening into a disk.
8. Place on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20-24 minutes.
9. Cool completely before giving it to your dog.
