Cheddar and Walnut Appetizers

 This recipe is a tiny clipping from some magazine from who knows where! This sounds really good! I however will use pecans as walnuts make the roof of my mouth itch. What is that anyway, a small allergy?

Ingredients

1 cup grated cheddar

2 Tablespoons flour

salt

chili powder

oregano

1 egg white, stiffly beaten

walnuts, coarsely shopped

butter

Process

 1. Combine 1 cup grated Cheddar with 2 Tablespoons flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon oregano, and 1 egg white beaten. 

2. Form the mixture into balls and roll coarsely chopped walnuts and chill thuroughly. 

3. Just before serving, saute the balls in butter.

Fried Mashed Potato Rings

I made these for a Super Bowl Party.I found this recipe Potato Rings with Homemade Buttermilk Ranch on my new favorite blog to follow SpoonForkBacon. And of course, not only does my iPhone take lousy pictures, but of course my rings look no where as beautiful and perfect as theirs. How do you master double dipped egg battering with out getting it lumpy?
I highly recommend these morsels of yummyness! The mashed potatoes themselves were fantastic with caramelized onions and chives! Yum! And then battered and fried and dipped in home made ranch? Heaven!
