Potato Balls

After yesterday's Æbleskiver I thought I would try to make some savory Æbleskiver.
Adjusted the original recipe by taking out the sugar and substituting instant potato flakes :blink: for flour. Okay it's a little weird - we never have instant potatoes.
Recipe
1 egg
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1-1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp melted butter
1/2 cup milk
1 cup plain yogurt
Chopped chives
Adjust with yogurt to consistency of a little thicker than pancake batter
Into the Æbleskiver pan
Flip
Done
Went plain just to see if it would work.
Next time some garlic, bacon, cheese, etc.

Mike -
Holy Cow! Those look super :P

Those look mighty tasty.

Oh my heavens Frank, those must be delicious! Your next batch will be out of this world. BTW, still deciding where we want to stay. Will e-mail you for restaurants suggestions when we decide.

Frank all that looks so good.
But what damn army are you feeding :pinch:
I want to JOIN.....Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Just given a Mini to add to the herd. -
Frank,
Those look delicious and sound sort of like round mashed tator pancakes!
...but I'll stick to my melon baller ones!

Great idea Frank. How did they taste?
RRP, how did you cut those potatoes?Any road will take you there if you don't know where you're going.

Now, you're really teasing me! And, I'm a weak vessel....sort of like Chubby,....only on a smaller scale.
Those look fantastic!

Thanks, Mike - what's neat is there is no waste. First I peel the potatoes, then cut the balls with the baller. It takes practice, but you'd be surprised how well those spheres come out. Then I take the hollowed out carcasses to a shredder to make hash browns. The trick I learned is to quickly par-boil those shredded tators and then they can be frozen for frying with future breakfasts!Re-gasketing the USA one yard at a time

Man, anything with gravy over it is my friend! :P
-
LOL - except that wasn't gravy - it was Bearnaise sauce poured on those balls and tender fillets...one of Pat's favorite meals!Re-gasketing the USA one yard at a time
