Ingredients

• ¼ cup milk
• 3 tablespoons butter
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 large potatoes, peeled and quartered
• ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup oil for frying
• ¼ cup finely chopped cooked ham

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes, and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool and shred.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, mix milk, butter and garlic. Bring to a gentle boil, then mix in potatoes, ham and Cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches a dough-like consistency.

Step 3

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Drop potato mixture by rounded spoonfuls into the oil, and cook, turning once, until lightly browned on both sides.
