FILLING
Boil, cool and mash potatoes with salt, pepper, and butter. Add flour, make into balls about the size of small oranges. Roll into flour. Make a pocket in the center of potato ball. Sauteed the filling mixture in butter, drain, cool. Fill the potato pockets with the sauteed filling mixture and cover the pocket with the potatoes, roll in flour well. Fry in hot fat until brown on both sides. This can be made into a Spanish tasting dish by using plantains instead of potatoes. Use the same method as with potatoes.
Serving Ideas : We use chopped ham.
NOTES : Written next to this recipe is the date 5/1942 from Flossie Green.
Flossie was a wonderful Black lady who worked in the Dennis home for years.
She was much revered. I suppose she gave the recipe to Grandmother or fixed it for the family.
