"This recipe is basically a mixture of mashed potato and choux pastry, deep fried to golden deliciousness. I have been totally addicted to these ever since my first chef job, when I used to make the daily potato dish and that was a LONG time ago! These are so good I can even eat these cold straight from the fridge! They are also really good as part of a snack menu instead of chips (fries to you lot not from the UK) with a hot tomato dip."

A very nice dish. Since everything goes together, you can make it a bit more easily my mixing 3 beaten eggs (since getting just a yolk from a chicken is difficult) with the choux pastry and then adding the potatoes and butter (I riced mine first) to the choux-egg mixture. Finally, if you are spoon-quenelle challenged, place the whole preparation into a large freezer bag and cut off a corner. You can now easily pipe the product directly into the oil.

ABSOLUTELY ENJOYED THESE LITTLE BUGGERS! I used lemon pepper for seasoning, which gave them just a hint of garlic flavor! We actually devoured them without any sauce, but another time I'll be including a dip on the side! Thanks for a great taste experience! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe]

These were great! Very easy to make and very good. I used hot tomato dip as suggested and it was a perfect accompaniment. My 4 year old DS adored them and dipped them into yogurt. Thanks for the recipe!

Noo potatoes, well new to me anyway. How have I managed to go through life without this super easy and wonderful dish? I served this with Senora Dilanda's chicken recipe, not a speck was left.I do have one criticism though, these are sooo good the recipe should be doubled.Thanks Noo for another great winner.Brian H
