Does anywhere sell those frozen potato balls

Hi not sure if anywhere sells them but we use to have them with school dinners and i loved them! I was in primary school and I am 26 now so really not sure if they are still around. They were crispy with mashed (i think) potato in them kinda like a round version of a smily face potato thing. Thanks in advance. PP

    are these the sort of potato balls that you remember being like those smiley faces?

    the only round potato that i remember from school dinner were blobs of instant mash potato (and there were not many smiley faces when that was served i can tell you)!!!

    I bought a bag of these not so long ago, it was from either Lidl or Aldi.
