Hockey Slider Bar: Slider Bar Party
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of McCain Foods. The opinions and text are all mine. #MyMcCainPotatoes #CollectiveBias
Break out the burgers…it’s time for a burger slider bar party! To celebrate the upcoming hockey games, we hosted a get together for an epic game time watch party with a special slider bar with a not-so-secret ingredient. We love McCain® potatoes and have used them for a while now. Not only are they are a tasty side dish, but they make an epic slider bar topping! Since they’re made with real potatoes, they are the perfect game day spread idea.
Hockey Watch Party: Slider Bar Party Ideas
Let’s make epic waffle fry and smile sliders! We use a few time-saving hacks to make your slider bar set up fast and easy. To get started, prepare potatoes according to package instructions. If you have access to an air fryer, cook frozen fries in that. We actually have two air fryers so we are able to prepare double the amount of food in half the time. It helps us prepare for game day parties, and you can usually find air fryers with a frozen fry setting too!
While your fries are cooking, prepare your sliders. You can use prepared sliders or make your own. I like to shop ground beef patties to save time, but it is not a problem to make your own. We use dinner rolls as slider buns, and we gauge the size of each burger patty before cooking to make sure it will fit. My husband lovingly called our sliders “hockey pucks” to stick to the hockey gameday theme. Season your ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, olive oil, and onion powder.
We prepared them in a cast iron skillet. You don’t need to fire up the grill for this recipe! Add oil to a cast iron skillet to let it heat up. Add slider-sized burger patties and cook 3-4 minutes on each side until preferred doneness. When the burgers and fries are done, you’re ready to party!
To prepare a slider hockey puck style, use a dinner roll and slice it in half. Top with a burger patty, American cheese, and a waffle fry or smile potato fry. Add your favorite toppings like ketchup, mayo, lettuce, and tomatoes.
Set up your hockey party burger bar and enjoy the game! Use paper containers to store fries for easy reach, and let guests serve themselves. Encourage them to make their own sliders using McCain products from Walmart. Which combination is your favorite? Do you love the waffle fry slider or the smile fry slider?
