How to make it

  • Potatoes:
  • Peel potatoes and using scale, weigh exactly 2 1/2 lbs of potatoes.(5 large baking potatoes are just about right.)

  • Chou Paste:
  • Place butter, water and salt in a 1-quart sauce-pan; bring to boiling point; add all the flour at one time. Stir and cook over low heat 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture leaves the sides of the pan and forms a ball. Cool slightly.
  • Beat eggs in one at a time.
  • Add potatoes to Chou Paste and mix well.
  • Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls or put into a pastry bag and pipe in 2-inch lengths.
  • Fry in deep fat, preheated to 375 degrees for 2 to 3 minutes or until nicely browned. drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.
  • The batter will stay for a day or two, refrigerated.
