Recipe by Wokkingmum: Cheesy Potato And Tuna Balls/saved
Very tasty dish!
Deep fried mashed potatoes with a fishy twist and a cheese nougat in the middle.
Reminds me of hushpuppies.
These are large. One recipe makes a dozen.
I just love Mackerel so that's what I used in place of the tuna. It's so full of that fishy smell. My cat and I used to have dinner together over a shared can of Mackerel. Mackerel can was three times the size of a tuna can so I tripled the recipe. That means 3 dozen potato balls for me.
Needed to add a couple more eggs after tripling them as I was running low.
Didn't have to add any salt (unusual for a potato recipe) as I used a Velveeta knockoff as the nouget, which is salty in itself. Also mixed in some Cotija cheese and it is a salty cheese too.
Only had time to put together two to three balls before the ones in the deep frier were ready to come out.
I like the onion flavor that plays in the background.
These have to be good, mother came back for seconds.
These might be good with some sort of dip but I like them straight up.
Did not opt for the coriander or spring onion.

Oh my, YES! What a change of pace this would/will be for us. Nice photo P7O and yeah Velveeta.

Nice picture Points. I bet those are way too good. Happily for my figure I am frying disabled and could never get them to come out so nicely as yours did. I'd happily eat them up for you though /wink

Oh man I would love these! I'm into different from the usual recipes lately and this one sounds perfect. Probably choose to use a small cube of cheddar. Saved!

Nice picture, pso. That's definitely a different looking recipe. A budget stretcher type one. :)
