I love surfing the web for new ideas for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It is so wonderful to be able to simply Google "sponge cake" and you have thousands of options at your finger tips. Even television has The Food Network, my absolute favorite. I found myself justifying a 50 dollar hike in my cable bill simply to keep that beautiful channel which by the way is responsible for at least 40 lbs of my personal weight gain. Emeril Lagasse, Bobby Flay, Rachel Ray and the Queen of butter and fat Paula Deen. This recipe is one I found on Paula Deen.com. The recipe was simple and I was craving a good deep fried treat. These are so yummy! My kids simply gobbled them up and asked through a mouthful of food, when I would be making them again. As I could sense open heart surgery in my future if these were on a weekly menu I decided to file this one away for a Christmas appetizer. A much better option than involuntary manslaughter.
1 cup mashed potatoes
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
5 tablespoons milk
In a large mixing bowl, mix ingredients in order given. Drop from a tablespoon into deep fryer at 360ºF. When brown, drain on brown paper. Serve hot.
Paula suggests having these with syrup. Oh sweet Jesus could it get any better.
