People love potatoes all over the world. In Russia potatoes are an essential part of every Russian meal and a staple of the Russian cuisine. And I am not surprised. There are endless ways to cook potatoes, from boiling and frying to adding them into cake batter.

Everyone is going mad for mashed potatoes in my family. BROWNED BUTTER MASHED POTATOES RECIPE, SPINACH MASHED POTATOES, GARLIC MASHED POTATOES RECIPE, PERFECT MASHED POTATOES are my family favorites.

If you are tired of typical mashed potato recipes, try potato balls in my homemade ponzu sauce. The sauce gets them to the next level.

WHAT IS PONZU SAUCE?

Ponzu sauce is a Japanese sauce, used for marinades, salad dressings, for sauces or as a dipping sauce. It is sweet, savory, salty and flavored with citrus.

My homemade ponzu sauce is ridiculously easy to make and goes so well with mashed potato balls.  It adds tanginess and more subtle saltiness than soy sauce.

MASHED POTATO BALLS BAKED

I prefer to bake my mashed potato balls.

1.   Simply preheat your oven to 475 F /245 C. Sauté onion and carrot, toast cashew. Combine the ingredients together, form bite-sized balls, transfer to an iron skillet and bake.

2.   Combine the sauce ingredients, pour over the baked balls, put in the oven and bake another 2-3 minutes.
