Cheese And Potato Rissoles Recipes

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes and mash in the bottom of the pot until no lumps remain.
• Put pot over low heat. Stir butter into the mashed potatoes; cook, stirring constantly, until the butter has melted and the potatoes are no longer moist. Spread potatoes into the bottom of a wide bowl and refrigerate until cooled completely, at least 30 minutes.
• Beat egg yolks into cooled potatoes; season with salt and white pepper. Stir Cheddar cheese and diced onion into the potatoes. Shape potato mixture into tennis ball-sized spheres, arrange into a baking dish, and refrigerate until chilled completely through, at least 1 hour.
• Beat eggs and water together in a bowl. Spread flour and bread crumbs into two separate wide bowls.
• Gently roll potato balls in flour to coat and shake to remove excess flour. Dip each into the beaten egg, turning to coat. Press each egg-coated ball into bread crumbs, again turning to coat on all sides. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place the breaded balls onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Deep-fry potato balls in batches in hot oil until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add more oil and return to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) between batches. Drain fried balls on a plate lined with paper towel.

Steps:

• Combine the potatoes and 2 tablespoons of the salt in a large saucepan. Add water to cover the potatoes and bring to a boil over high. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain in a colander.
• Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a saucepan over medium-high. Add the potatoes; cook stirring occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Combine the potatoes, parsley, chives, pepper, and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; toss to coat.

Steps:

• Pare the potatoes and cut into eights. Place in a saucepan and cover with water. Add 1 tablespoon salt. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain potatoes; press through a food mill or mash well. Place in a dry saucepan and add the butter. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and mixture is dry. Place in a bowl; refrigerate until cool. Beat in egg yolks, pepper and salt to taste. Add the cheese and stir until well mixed. Chill well.
• Shape with hands into 4-inch sausage shaped rolls; coat each roll well with flour. Beat the 2 eggs with 1/4 cup water until mixed. Dip potato rolls into eggs, then coat well with bread crumbs. Place on a cookie sheet and chill thoroughly. Fry in deep fat at 375°F degrees until brown; do not overcook. Drain on paper toweling, place on a platter. Garnish with chopped parsley.
• These may be kept warm in a 200 degree oven until served, if desired. This recipe may be prepared and refrigerated for 24 hours before frying. This amount makes about 8 servings.
