Potato Balls

Ingredients

• 500 g potatoes
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1 large egg white
• 40 g butter
• 1 jícara flour
• lard (manteca)

Instructions

1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Peel them and pass through a potato ricer to form a purée.
2. Beat the egg yolks and egg white together until well combined. Add the butter and work everything together vigorously until the mixture forms a thick paste.
3. Stir in the flour (about a jícara / 1 cup measure). Form the mixture into balls about the size of meatballs (albóndigas).
4. Heat the lard (manteca) until very hot. Fry the potato balls until golden. Serve immediately.
