This is a somewhat less expensive homemade appetizer that looks nice on your hot tray, and tastes good too. I have used Cheddar cheese instead of Swiss cheese in this recipe from the "Southern Living Big Book of Christmas Baking” with good luck.
I have prepared these appetizers on a baking sheet; and covered and refrigerated up to 24 hours, baking right before the party. Finely chop the ham and green pepper in your food processor. Crush the corn flakes in a plastic bag, and use a cookie scoop to portion the balls to keep it simple.

ReplyDeleteThe seasoning is right, and it's a good way to use both potatoes and cereal.
