Mashed potatoes are one of those dishes that you can never go wrong with. Sometimes we embark on a recipe that requires more effort than we initially anticipated, or sometimes a dish just doesn’t turn out to be as yummy as we wanted…but that’s never the case with mashed potatoes. Factor in the fact that you can do something exciting with any leftovers you may have, and we’re really in business!
These mashed potato cabbage balls are cheesy and delicious, and we’re happy to have made them every time we take that first bite. They’re super easy to throw together, then you just scoop them into balls and pop them in the oven and you’re good to go. Check ‘em out next time you’re mashing up those tots – they’re always a hit!
