    I really like these. I can say I remember having them served with a piece of bread (I think or something put in the middle of them.

    I prepared everything and rolled them into balls hours before I was going to fry them. They did great. I think the sky is the limit on what you could add to these. Reminds me of the potatoes that I had in Wiesbaden, GE!
