Cheesy Potato Balls

This potato recipe is made with Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, green onion, and onion soup mix and makes these a nice alternative to the usual breakfast potato side dish. The potato balls are rolled in corn flakes to add some extra crunch and flavor.

One of the nice things about this breakfast recipe is that you can make them ahead of time and freeze them in small quantities. When you are ready, just thaw and re-heat in the oven.

Serve these potatoes with eggs, quiche, ham, pork, or cooked sausage links. Also serve these cheesy potato balls with fresh fruit recipes like Cinnamon Apples or Poached Pears.

Cheesy Potato Balls Recipe

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredient List:

6 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 (3 oz.) package. cream cheese
2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons chopped green onion
1 envelope (5 teaspoons) instant onion soup mix
dash of pepper
Milk-(as necessary)
2 beaten eggs
3 cups cornflakes, coarsely crushed

Instructions:

Step 1: In a medium sauce pan, cook potatoes in boiling water until tender. Drain and mash.

Step 2: Stir in both parmesan cheese, cream cheese, butter, onion, onion soup mix and pepper. Mix well. Add a small amount of milk if mixture is dry.

Step 3: Shape mixture into 16 balls.

Step 4: Dip in beaten egg; roll in cornflakes.

Step 5: Place on greased baking sheet; and bake in 400 degree oven for 10-15 minutes or until hot and crisp. Serve hot.

(I usually double this and sometimes use cheddar cheese instead of parmesan.) These can be made ahead and frozen and then thawed and re-heated in the oven when you are ready to serve. Another nice alternative to the usual breakfast potatoes.
