Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups plain mashed potato mix (dry)
1 egg
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
24 (1/2-inch) cubes pasteurized prepared cheese product (about 2 3/4 oz.)
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1 cup plain mashed potato mix (dry)
Butter-flavor nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • In medium saucepan, bring 1 cup water, butter and salt to a boil. Add 1 1/3 cups mashed potato mix, 1 egg and chives; mix well. Let stand 30 seconds. Stir. Cool 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oven to 400°F. Spoon mashed potatoes into 24 mounds, about 1 tablespoon each, onto ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten into disks. Place 1 cheese cube in center of each potato disk. With pancake turner, remove each disk from cookie sheet; pinch potatoes around cheese cube to form ball.
  • In small bowl, beat 1 egg and 1 tablespoon water until well blended. Place 1 cup mashed potato mix in another shallow dish or bowl. Roll balls in potato mix, then in egg mixture and again in potato mix. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Just before baking, spray coated potato balls with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 400°F. for 10 to 12 minutes or until potato coating just begins to brown. Serve immediately.
