Press or roll the balls rather thin then place a Tablespoon of finely chopped and seasoned meat of any kind on potato cake - covering but one half, then fold over and press the edges together; place in buttered baking pan and put in oven until brown. Serve with Tomato or brown sauce. Mrs. J.H. Aley - my great-great grandmother |
