#2207 - Ham and Potato Balls

(by Shirley McNevich)

2 cups very stiff mashed potatoes
2 cups finely chopped cooked ham
4oz. shredded cheddar cheese OR Swiss cheese
1/3 cup mayo
1 beaten egg
1 tsp. French's yellow mustard
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 to 4 TBSP flour
1 3/4 cups 4C Italian bread crumbs

In a bowl add mashed potatoes, ham, cheese, mayo, beaten egg, mustard and pepper--stir until well mixed. Add enough of the flour and stir to make the mixture stiff. Chill the mixture for 1 hour. Remove mixture from refrigerator and shape the mixture into 1 inch sized balls. Roll each ball in the bread crumbs until coated. Place them on to greased cookie sheets (sheets should have a lip if possible to prevent them from rolling off). Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
