Wednesday Recipes: Gloria's Potato Rosettes

No, I don't have any idea who Gloria is/was. She does, however, make some excellent potatoes. These are super easy to make and both my men said, "Excellent," upon the first bite. Enjoy!

Gloria's Potato Rosettes

Ingredients

2 cups mashed potatoes (homemade or instant)

2 egg yolks, lightly beaten

4 tablespoons melted butter or margarine, cooled

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (or garlic powder)

1 tablespoon chopped chives (or parsley; I used parsley because that's one of the fresh herbs I grow)

Paprika

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, egg yolks, butter, salt, and nutmeg. Mix until blended. Stir in parsley or chives.

2. Drop spoonfuls (roughly a rounded tablespoon) of mixture on to a greased baking pan, swirling the tops. Sprinkle with paprika.

3. Broil for 5 to 7 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through. Transfer to a serving dish.

4. Garnish with parsley and fresh basil leaves. Serve.

Good served with: Roast beef, Brussels sprouts, and fruit cake for dessert (according to the recipe card). I served with barbecued chicken legs and roasted vegetables.

Each one is only 36 calories!
