These mamaliga balls were a disaster! They were dry, crumbly, and tasteless. I won't be making this recipe again.

These mamaliga balls were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The smoked ham added a delicious smoky flavor. I will definitely be making these again.
