Pretzel Left Over Mashed Potato Bites

Mustard Dipping Sauce:

• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon brown mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon horseradish

Potato Bites:

• Peanut oil, for frying
• 4 cups left-over mashed potatoes
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon brown mustard
• 1 cup crushed pretzels

Directions

For the sauce: Place dipping sauce ingredients into a small bowl and mix well. Serve with pretzel mashed potato bites.

For the potato bites: In a Dutch oven or deep fryer, pour the oil to a depth of 5 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat to 350 degrees F.

Combine the potatoes with the egg. Mix in the flour and mustard. Spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon, form into balls, and roll in the crushed pretzels. Deep fry until the bites float to the top and are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with the mustard dipping sauce.

Cook's Note: These can also be breaded with crushed potato chips.
