This recipe is basically a mixture of mashed potato and choux pastry, deep fried to golden deliciousness. I have been totally addicted to these ever since my first chef job, when I used to make the daily potato dish and that was a LONG time ago! These are so good I can even eat these cold straight from the fridge! They are also really good as part of a snack menu instead of chips (fries to you lot not from the UK) with a hot tomato dip.
