I make this often for company. The potato cups make a unique and edible container for the meatballs.a5a;Betty Jecmenek, Columbus, Texas Ingredients:
2 cups leftover mashed potatoes |
1 egg |
1/2 small onion, finely chopped |
1 celery rib, finely chopped |

1/2 cup quick-cooking oats |
1/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
bouillon gravy: |
1 tablespoon butter |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup water |
1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules |
1/2 teaspoon browning sauce, optional |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine potatoes and egg. Using an ice cream scoop, place eight mounds of potato mixture onto a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan.
