Using left over mashed potatoes to make
potato balls that you can serve with a
tomato sauce, beef gravy or just butter.
A good way to use up mashed potatoes.

2 cups cooked mashed potatoes
1 cup flour, or more
1 teaspoon dried chives
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 cups water
sauce of your choosing for serving

Directions:
In a bowl mix mashed potatoes, flour,
dried chives and ground black pepper.
Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Remove from refrigerator and using
your hands form into walnut sized balls.
In a large pot bring water almost to boil,
drop in potato balls, they will sink to the
bottom of the pot, do not let water boil.
Simmer potato balls in water for about 15 minutes
or until they float to the top of the water.
Remove balls with a slotted spoon to a flat dish
in one layer to dry for 10 minutes before serving
along with any sauce you desire that will do.
Also at this dry stage you might saute them in
butter to give them a little brown color if desired.
