I made these for an Oktoberfest party and they were a huge hit…I did add onions!
I really like these. I can say I remember having them served with a piece of bread (I think) or something put in the middle of them.
I prepared everything and rolled them into balls hours before I was going to fry them. They did great. I think the sky is the limit on what you could add to these. Reminds me of the potatoes that I had in Wiesbaden, GE!
tasty treats! added fresh leftover corn, will never throw away leftover mashed potatoes again!would also be great with chives added. super for a hors’doeuvres. you could be so creative with this!
