Hi Everyone! I hope your weekend is off to a great start! Today I will be sharing a side dish that won my friend Traci a $100 Longo's gift card through a "What's for Dinner?" recipe contest at Country 95.3. She suggests serving it with roast beef and yorkshire pudding but said it could be used in place of any potato side dish. Congrats Traci!!


Parmesan Potato Balls

Prep time: 45 minutes
Bake time: 15 minutes

3 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp. milk
1 tbsp. butter or margarine, softened
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tbsp. chopped green onion
2-1/2 tsp. onion soup mix
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. hot pepper sauce
A dash of pepper
1 egg, beaten
1-1/2 cups crushed cornflakes

Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat; cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until they're tender and drain.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the potatoes, beat in the cream cheese, milk and butter until it's smooth.

Stir in the parmesan cheese, onion soup mix, salt, hot pepper sauce and pepper then shape into 1-1/2 inch balls.

Place the egg and cornflakes in separate shallow bowls and dip the potato balls in the egg, then roll in the crumbs.

Place on an un-greased baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until they're crisp and golden brown.
