Potato Puffs
I give this recipe out often. It's suitable for any meal, so it's a great use of left-over potatoes. From experience, I can recommend Potato Puffs to mothers of young children—when our four youngsters were growing up, I would often fix these to go with their sandwiches. They're good alongside hamburger and a salad, too.
