These tasty mashed potato balls will make a great side dish for your next family get together, and will make you look like a pro. SO let’s forget about the boring old mashed potatoes this year, and serve these instead. Your family will thank you for it and you can thank me later. They come in 6 varieties: country, original, sweet potato, parmesan peppercorn, garlic, and my favorite, the sour-cream and chive mashed potatoes. Feel free to use whatever variety you prefer but I highly recommend this recipe with either the sour-cream and chive or the garlic mashed potatoes. I used the sour-cream and chive.
