Jumbo Pork-n-Potato Balls


By Garnish It (Visit website)



HAHAHA...I know, sounds...well interesting doesn't it. I was a bit hesitant about making these, but what's the worst that could have happened? Pizza for dinner? As I made them Rene kept giving me these looks, much like "what the hell are you doing?" or "am I really going to have to eat that?"....I was making dinner, and yes, you have to eat "that".

Yeah, that's right mom, I made AND ate broccoli...

Ok...Here's what you'll need...

2 lbs baking potatoes, peeled, & cut into 1" cubes
Salt & Pepper
6 tbsp flour
1 1/4 lbs pork loin,cut into1/4 thick slices
4 cups vegetable oil
1 onion chopped
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup pitted green olives, rinsed & coarsely chopped
1 cup breadcrumbs
2 large eggs

What you'll do...

-In a large saucepan, with salted water, bring potatoes to a boil, cover and let simmer for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain, season with salt and pepper, and mash. (I added a bit of milk to the potatoes at this point to get a better consistency, which helped when it came to shaping them)

-Place 1/4 cup flour in plate. Season the pork with salt and pepper and coat with flour. In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp oil over med-high heat, add the pork and cook for 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a work surface.

-In the same skillet, over med-high heat, add 1 tbsp oil and the onion and cook, stirring until softened. Stir in the remaining 2 tbsp flour and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth and olives and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Finely chop the pork, stir into skillet and season with salt and pepper, let cool for 15 minutes.

-In a large skillet heat remaining oil to 350 degrees. Place the breadcrumbs on a plate, beat the eggs, in a blow and divide the potatoes into 4 portions. Shape each portion into a cup, fill with one-quarter of the pork mixture and shape the potato around the filling to form a ball. Coat with the breadcrumbs, turn in the egg mixture, and another coat of breadcrumbs.



-Add the potato balls to the hot oil and cook, turning until golden brown for 3-4 minutes and drain on paper towel.
These were filling, and very good, Rene enjoyed them quite well. So, add this recipe to the menu box, and enjoy!!
