Crunchy Potato Bites

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Dijon-style mustard
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup mayonnaise, divided
  • 2 large potatoes or 2 cups mashed cooked potatoes
  • 2 cups finely chopped ham
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 1/2 cups crushed cornflakes

Directions

  • 1
    For sauce, combine Dijon-style mustard, honey and 2 tablespoons mayonnaise in a small bowl and mix well. Chill, covered, to allow the flavors to blend, about 2 hours.
  • 2
    For potato balls, peel the potatoes and cut into chunks. Combine the potatoes with enough water to cover in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Boil until easily pierced with a fork but not mushy, about 20 minutes; drain well.
  • 3
    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease baking sheets.
  • 4
    Mash potatoes in a medium bowl with a masher. Stir in ham, Swiss, remaining mayonnaise, milk, onion, egg, mustard, salt and pepper; mix well.
  • 5
    Shape the potato mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll the balls in the cornflakes. Arrange the balls 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets.
  • 6
    Bake until browned, about 30 minutes. Arrange on a serving platter. Serve with the sauce.

Grandma's Secret Trick

With so many of us dropping by so often, Grandma became a whiz at whipping up treats with whatever she had on hand. It seems like we were barely out of the car when she had a tray of these ready to go into the oven. If she was out of Swiss cheese, she substituted Cheddar cheese for a flavor we liked just as much.
