Does anywhere sell those frozen potato balls

I remember potato balls ... I also remember that there wasn't really much to them. You could make some yourself by mashing up spuds and then using a melon baller to create the balls before rolling them in something (batter, or just flour) and frying them.

My parents used to have a restaurant and they served them as opposite choice to chips.. Ooooh, I used to love them...

Getting Deep fat fryer for Xmas, might get some ready in the freezer too:j

My DD keeps asking for these as she has them at school; took ages to work out what she meant when she kept asking and whatever I gave her "wasn't ROUND enough"!!!!

heron , cooltrader and farmfoods do these. sometimes in heron they do the catering pack for about 1.50 which is a mega bargain.
for those saying do them yourself, the whole point of trying to get food you remember from being a kid is for it to be the same. home made quite often just doesnt cut it imo
especially considering the schools did them from frozen in the first place lol
