Potato

Description

At first glance, this dish might be mistaken for donuts or choux pastry balls. This potato dish is an excellent alternative to the usual boiled or fried potatoes or mashed potatoes. These potato balls are soft on the inside and crispy and golden on the outside. They can be served with any sauce, for example, cheese sauce.
