Taterer balls
I’ve always found it amazing how a dish can journey through history and across continents. Take mashed potatoes, for instance. Historians trace their roots back over 10,000 years to the Inca civilization in Peru. Yep, the same basic idea has been passed down and now shows up next to your favorite Southern protein on the regular.
More often than not, we end up with a few too many mashed potatoes, scoop them into an old butter container, and let them chill in the fridge, crossing our fingers they don’t get forgotten. But instead of leaving them in leftover limbo, why not give them new life? I’ve put together a simple recipe for Loaded Tater Balls that just might earn a permanent spot on your weekly menu.
