Mashed Potato Balls

I really love potatoes. I think i have consumed too many in roughly more than 20 years. From fries to salads to mashed potato, potatoes really excites me. It is low in calories (if you take away high calories components, grease, etc.), high in fiber and has antioxidants. 

So this is the latest I have tried. I actually saw the recipe from a chef (Ms. Len Santos-Ding) when she contributed the recipe online. I was ecstatic seeing it and very inspired. I didn't do the first attempt right because i used instant mashed potato but with several trial and error i think i hit a jackpot.

Ingredients:
Mashed Potato
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup flour
3 large potatoes
2 tbsp butter (if you have a garlic butter on-hand, the one you use for garlic bread you may use that to add flavor)
salt
pepper

Coating
1/4 cup flour
3/4 cup bread crumbs (i use mortar and pestle to grind the crumbs some more, i want it fine)
salt
paprika
all spice


Procedure:
1. Boiled the potatoes until fork-tender. 
2. Mashed it, add butter, salt and pepper until you achieve the right taste for you. Make it a little saltier because you will add egg yolk and flour. 
3. Add the yolk and flour and mash it together, until well-blended.
4. Put it back in the fridge for about 1 hour.
5. Put all the ingredients for coating.
6. Make balls and roll it to the coating mix. Once you are done with all the balls, you can roll the balls again to the coating mix, similar to a double coating.
7. You may now freeze it.
8. Once the potato balls are frozen heat up oil and deep fry the balls.

Serve it hot.

Options for dip:
gravy
spicy gravy (send me a message if you want me to send you my recipe)
garlic mayo
ketchup 

This recipe is actually nice because you can freeze them and fry several balls that you will eat.
