Crispy Potato Balls image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 1h25m

Yield 12 balls

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups Mashed Potatoes, recipe follows, cold
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup dried breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil, for frying
Kosher salt
5 pounds russet or Yukon gold potatoes
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) salted butter, plus more for topping
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup half-and-half, or more if desired
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Mix together the Mashed Potatoes, flour, egg, parsley, Parmesan, mozzarella and black pepper in a bowl. Place the breadcrumbs on a large plate.
  • Form the potato mix into 12 golf-ball-sized balls. The mixture will be a little sticky, so wet your hands a little as you go. Place the balls directly on the breadcrumbs and roll each ball in the breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure they stick well. Put the breadcrumbed balls on a plate.
  • Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 375 degrees F, or until the mixture bubbles when a breadcrumb is added.
  • Add the balls to the oil and fry until golden brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes total. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle immediately with salt.
  • Garnish with more Parmesan and parsley.
  • Peel and cut the potatoes into pieces of approximately the same size. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until a fork easily slides into the potatoes with no resistance and the potatoes almost, but not totally, fall apart, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Drain the potatoes in a large colander. Place them back into the dry pot and put the pot on the stove. Mash the potatoes over a low heat, allowing all the steam to escape.
  • Turn off the stove and add the butter, cream cheese and half-and-half. Mash, mash, mash! Add the seasoned salt and black pepper.
  • Stir well and place in a medium baking dish. Throw a few pats of butter over the top of the potatoes and place bake until the butter has melted and the potatoes are warmed through, a few minutes.

PERFECT SAUTéED POTATOES



Perfect sautéed potatoes image

A wonderful alternative to chips and so much simpler to prepare

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Lunch, Side dish, Supper

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 2

1kg waxy potato, such as Maris Peer or Desirée
6-8 tbsp sunflower or olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut 1 kg waxy potatoes into chunks.
  • Bring a large pan of water to the boil, then cook the potatoes for 3 mins. Drain, shake out onto a kitchen paper-lined tray and leave to cool.
  • When ready to serve, heat 6-8 tbsp sunflower or olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan until you can feel a strong heat rising.
  • If your pan isn't large enough, fry the potatoes in two batches - rather than crowding them. Have kitchen paper ready to drain them on. Add the potatoes in a single layer, not too tightly packed.
  • Turn the heat to medium-high, so that the potatoes sizzle, but don't stir until they start to brown underneath.
  • Turn them all evenly 2 or 3 times until nicely browned all over - this can take about 7 mins.
  • Then lift out with a fish slice or large slotted spoon to drain on more kitchen paper. Sprinkle with sea salt.

  • To get crispy potato balls, be sure to sauté them in a hot skillet with plenty of oil.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the potato balls. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the potato balls immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
