Best Doing The Mashed Potato Balls Recipes
POTATO BALLS
Here's a delightful way to use leftover mashed potatoes! These puffs are easy to make, and my family prefers them to french fries. Children enjoy them plain, buttered or drizzled with honey or maple syrup. My grandkids expect Potato Puffs on the menu whenever they come to my house!

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

MASHED POTATO BALLS
I came up with this recipe while trying to use up all of the produce that I received from my co-op, and I was pleased with how they turned out. I love how the outside potato shell gets crunchy. These reheat well in an oven/toaster oven. I like to make half of my potato balls stuffed and half all mixed together. It provides a nice variety.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large pot of salted water, boil the potatoes until soft, about 20 minutes.
- While the potatoes are boiling, bring another pot of water to boil for the chard and spinach. While water is heating up, chop (or tear) the chard and spinach into small pieces.
- When the second pot of water is boiling, add the chard and spinach and boil for 10 minutes.
- When the chard and spinach are done, drain and set aside to cool.
- The potatoes should be cooked by now so drain the potatoes and mash with the milk and some more salt if desired.
- Add the eggs and flour to the mashed potatoes and set aside to make the filling.
- Dry the chard and spinach thoroughly and combine in a large bowl with all of the filling ingredients. (I find it is easiest to just mix it with my hands.).
- To Stuff:.
- Scoop out about two tablespoons of the mashed potato mixture and flatten it out in your hand with a slightly hollowed out part.
- Stuff with about two tablespoons of the filling, cover with some more mashed potatoes, and gently shape into a ball. I made mine about 2.5" in diameter.
- To Not Stuff:.
- Combine the filling with the mashed potatoes.
- Scoop out about 4 tablespoons and form into a ball.
- Place the mashed potato balls in a 9x13 baking dish, and brush the top with melted butter (you may have to make a partial second batch).
- Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 40 minutes or until the outside turns brown and crispy and the inside reaches a temperature of at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
