Potato Puffs
Ingredients
Directions
Peel the small potatoes and slice them into ¼ inch thick slices.
Soak the slices in cold water for 2 to 3 hours.
Drain the potatoes and fry them in hot fat, just below boiling point.
When the potatoes are soft to the touch, heat the fryer until smoking hot.
Add the potatoes to the hot fat and stir gently until they puff up like balls.
Drain and serve immediately on a folded napkin.
