Ingredients Needed

• The Sausage is on the inside in this dish
• 1 pound bulk country-style sweet sausage
• 3 cups mashed potatoes
• 2 eggs, well beaten
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 cup dry breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ teaspoon basil
• ½ teaspoon oregano
• 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon finely grounded white pepper
• Dash of cayenne (optional)

How to make it

1. Form the sausage meat into small balls.
2. Coat each ball with mashed potatoes. This is a rather tedious procedure. It will help if the potatoes are slightly stiff.
3. Make a wash with the eggs and water.
4. Combine the bread crumbs with the remaining ingredients.
5. Dip each ball into the egg wash and then gently roll it in the seasoned bread crumbs. Place the balls on a baking sheet and let then rest for an hour or so to allow the crumb coating t set.
6. Deep fat fry the balls at about 375F. until they are golden.

Serve hot.
