#2884 - Potato Balls

(by Shirley McNevich)

2 cups very stiff mashed potatoes
2 cups cooked ham (chopped)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese OR shredded 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 crushed corn flakes cereal

In a bowl add mashed potatoes, ham pieces, cheese, mayo, beaten egg, mustard and pepper--mix well using a spoon. Add enough flour to make the mixture stiff (2 to 4 TBSP)--stir well. Refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour. Remove mixture from refrigerator. Place the crushed corn flakes in a bowl. Shape the potato mixture into walnut sized balls, and roll each ball completely in the crused corn flakes. Place the coated potato balls on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Serve hot.
