Doing The Mashed Potato Balls

Features:
    Cuisine:

    These were very good. I did find them a little soft, but that may be due to my mashed potatoes. If my oven had been working I would have put them in to brown. Instead used an electric fry pan. My family liked these and I liked that I was able to fit in extra vegetables into their diet. Thanks for the recipe.

    Doing the Mashed Potato Balls, The dance Mashed Potato gained international fame due to a mega hit by Dee Dee Sharp in the 60’s named Mashed Potato Time It originated in Philadelphia and went wild from there To do the dance you pump your legs up and down like a potato masher (CD not included)- it is not recommended that you use your feet to mash these potatoes – regular masher accepted, Why you ask have I given all this detail? Why to give the recipe an international flavor of course In this recipe I have rolled the balls in crumbs & Asiago it gives a nice crisp crust to the balls but you may omit the crumbs and simply add the Asiago cheese to the mixture You may substitute left over cooked chicken finely chopped – if this is done add the chicken to the mixture after you wilt the spinach I like to use a spicy sweet chili sauce for the final step but if you do not like spicy then use your favorite BBQ sauce, These were very good I did find them a little soft, but that may be due to my mashed potatoes If my oven had been working I would have put them in to brown Instead used an electric fry pan My family liked these and I liked that I was able to fit in extra vegetables into their diet Thanks for the recipe , I have not tried this yet, but I surely will, just because you remembered Dee Dee Sharp I was an usher at her wedding, the only white person in her wedding party Her real name was Dione LaRue & she married Kenny Gamble Alan Leonetti
