Cooking is not one of my favorite things to do, so I'm always looking for simple and tasty recipes to feed our growing family (three sons - 8,5 and 7 months). These potato balls make a good snack or appetizer (my two older boys love them with any meal!), and they're a good way to use up leftovers. In fact, I often find myself peeling a few extra potatoes just to make sure there will be leftovers. I've also substituted ground-up hot dogs or sausage for the ham. Ingredients:
2 cups very stiff mashed potatoes |
2 cups finely chopped fully cooked ham |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar or swiss cheese |
1/3 cup mayonnaise |
1 egg, beaten |
1 teaspoon prepared mustard |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
2 to 4 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-3/4 cups crushed cornflakes |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the potatoes, ham, cheese, mayonnaise, egg, mustard and pepper. Add enough of the flour to make a stiff mixture. Chill.
2. Shape into 1-in. balls; roll in cornflakes. Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes. Serve hot. Yield: about 6 dozen.
