PRETZEL MASHED POTATO BITES

Category: Deep Fried

Mustard Dipping Sauce:
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp brown mustard
1/2 tsp horseradish

Potato Bites:
Peanut oil, for frying
4 cups left-over mashed potatoes
1 large egg
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp brown mustard
1 cup crushed pretzels

For the sauce: Place dipping sauce ingredients into a small bowl and mix well. Serve with pretzel mashed potato bites.

For the potato bites: In a Dutch oven or deep fryer, pour the oil to a depth of 5 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat to 350 degrees F.

Combine the potatoes with the egg. Mix in the flour and mustard. Spoon about 1 heaping tbsp, form into balls, and roll in the crushed pretzels. Deep fry until the bites float to the top and are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with the mustard dipping sauce. Serves 8

Note: These can also be breaded with crushed potato chips.
