MASHED POTATO TRUFFLES: DARK CHOCOLATE AND ORANGE #SP5

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine well the mashed potatoes, the zest of one navel orange, and the juice of half of the orange.
• Melt 1 cup of the chocolate chips either in a double boiler, or by heating in the microwave for approximately 1.5 minutes, stirring every 25-30 seconds.
• Once the chocolate is thoroughly melted, add it to the potato mixture, stir well to combine, then allow the mix to chill in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes, or until a scooped portion of the mix can be easily shaped (rolled in your hands).
• Line a baking sheet with wax paper. You're ready to form the truffles: scoop an approximately tablespoon-sized amount of the filling, and form into a ball by rolling with your hands. Set these on the wax paper, then allow the balls to chill in the refrigerator or freezer for another 30 minutes.
• Melt the remaining chocolate chips and dip the chilled filling balls to coat completely. The chocolate sets quickly, so work fast, and enjoy! These keep very well in the refrigerator and freezer and make great gifts.

SIMPLY POTATOES CHEESY POTATO TRUFFLES #5FIX

Steps:

• Measure potatoes into a medium mixing bowl. Add pancake mix and mix well. Add beaten eggs and dill and stir to combine thoroughly. Allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Measure one teaspoon of cream cheese and roll into a ball about the size of a marble. Using hands, scoop about a tablespoon of potato mixture and coat cream cheese ball so that it is completely covered with potato mixture. Form into a ball using gentle pressure just so potatoes stick together. This is a little messy, but kind of fun! Gently drop a few at a time into hot oil (350 degrees) with a slotted spoon and fry until golden, about 3 or 4 minutes each batch. Drain on paper towels. Allow to cool a little as cheese inside gets very hot!

TRUFFLED MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut them in 1-inch chunks. Place them in a large, deep saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, until very tender. Drain and return the potatoes to the saucepan.
• Meanwhile, heat the half-and-half and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts. Off the heat, add the truffle butter and allow it to melt. If the butter doesn't melt completely, heat the mixture slightly but don't allow the truffles to cook! With a hand mixer, beat the hot potatoes in the pot until they are broken up. Slowly beat in most of the hot truffle cream, the Parmesan, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and beat until the potatoes are thick and smooth. (You may have some truffle cream left over - reserve it for reheating.)
• To keep the potatoes hot or to reheat them, place them in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Heat slowly, adding more truffle cream if the potatoes get too thick. Season to taste and serve hot.
