CRISPY CREAMY POTATO PUFFS
This was in the last issue of the Food and Wine magazine, and it really is so good. Its easy to do, but the hardest thing is the time. It is better if you use the potato ricer as it calls for. Gives the potatoes an entirely different texture. What a unique way to serve potatoes for the holidays! Serving size is an estimate, as it makes 60 potato puffs.

Steps:
- Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Add a large pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderate heat until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the saucepan. Cook for 1 minute over high heat, shaking the pan frequently to dry out the potatoes.
- Pass the potatoes through a ricer into a large bowl. Stir in the egg, butter, dry milk, cheese, flour and nutmeg; season with salt. Using floured hands, roll the potato mixture into 1-inch balls; you should have about 60.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil until shimmering. Working in batches of about 12, fry the potato balls over moderately high heat until they are browned on 3 sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels, season lightly with salt and transfer the potato balls to a large rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining balls.
- When all of the puffs are fried, reheat them in the oven for about 10 minutes. Serve at once.
- MAKE AHEAD The recipe can be prepared through Step 2 and refrigerated overnight. Bring the potato balls to room temperature before frying.

- 2. These are really versatile - I have made them with onion added etc. You can use your ingenuity. I usually add a little garlic powder and/or seasoning salt.
Tips:
- For crispy potato puffs, use a combination of mashed potatoes and grated raw potatoes. This will ensure that the puffs are fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
- Season the potato mixture generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will enhance the flavor of the puffs.
- Be careful not to overwork the potato mixture. Overworking will make the puffs tough.
- Use a large spoon or ice cream scoop to drop the potato mixture into the hot oil. This will help ensure that the puffs are evenly sized and cooked.
- Fry the potato puffs in batches, so that they don't overcrowd the pan and cook evenly.
- Drain the potato puffs on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve the potato puffs hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
