Potato Balls

Apr 1, 2012 by arrisje

It happens to all of us that we make too much food. I don’t know about you but I hate to throw away food. So what to do with all these mashed potatoes. This is a good recipe for leftover mashed potatoes and not to mention it’s easy to make. Who doesn’t like easy recipes 🙂

Ingredients

3 cups of mashed potatoes
1/3 cup dried onion
3 oz. cream cheese
2/3 cup Parmesan cheese
1 cup of bread crumbs
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

I am using leftover mashed potatoes for this dish. In a large bowl add 1/3 cup of Parmesan Cheese, cream cheese, and seasonings to the mashed potatoes. Mix the breadcrumbs with 1/3 cup of Parmesan Cheese. Roll the potato balls in Parmesan cheese breadcrumb mixture, until well coated and place on a plate with wax paper. (wax paper is necessary so the balls won’t stick to the plate when you freeze them) Continue making balls until all is gone.Bake in 350F oven for 15 to 20 minutes until lightly browned
Flash freeze these potato balls, by putting them in the freezer for about an hour. Once the balls are frozen you can place them in plastic bags or containers and store in the freezer.
To use the potato balls, remove as many as needed and place in a dish. Bake in 350F oven for 15 to 20 minutes until lightly browned
