Preparation
Step 1
Boil the potatoes in their skins. When the skins split, remove from heat and drain.
Peel off the skin carefully. Crush the pulp until the texture is like a smooth pastry dough.
Add the seasonings, mix thoroughly and shape into balls.
Combine all the dry batter ingredients. Add just enough water to make the batter a semi-soft consistency, like thick cream.
Roll each ball in dry flour,then dip into the prepared batter.
Heat the oil to 365°F (185°C). Deep fry the balls in the hot oil until golden brown.
Serve hot, as an appetizer or a snack. Makes 16 - 18 balls.
