4 lg. potatoes
4 tbsp. butter
2 egg yolks
2 tbsp. flour
1 whole egg
1 tbsp. cold water
1 c. slivered almonds
Salt & pepper to taste

Peel and cook potatoes until they are tender. Place in a large bowl and mash and whip them together. Add butter, egg yolks, salt and pepper. Shape into balls about the size of a small orange. Roll the balls in flour, then in slightly beaten egg and water mixture. Roll the egg-coated balls in slivered almonds, coating thoroughly. Chill in refrigerator. This may be done the day before. Deep fry in 360 degree heated oil until the balls are golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve at once. Makes 8 to 9 balls.
