Who said they didn't like sauerkraut? C'mere! I got something for ya'! (I'll make you a believer yet!) The dipping sauce I used in the pic is honey mustard, but you could use whatever you like.

    yummy! made these with (gasp) instant mashed potatoes! I used my ice cream scoop to make large balls. I took them to our "German themed Christmas Dinner" and everyone loved them (we ended up calling them German hush puppies)! Thanks Sue L!

    SOOPERB!!!!! What a great way to disguise mashed taters! These little gems are sooooooo good and so easy to throw together. Made these to go with Karen Monahan's "Meat Cakes", #32973. YUM! Cut the ingredients in 1/2 and still had lots of "Balls" to go around! Thanks so much for sharing. Laudee C.
