Description

These savory potato couscous balls are an absolute highlight on any buffet or as a small snack in between. I especially like to make them in the summer when fresh herbs grow in the garden. The combination of the soft potatoes, the fine couscous and the fresh parsley and spring onions is simply unbeatable. A splash of lemon provides the perfect acidity. They are super easy and quick to prepare and taste both warm and cold. If you like, you can mix some grated cheese into the dough. Also ideal to take away or for a picnic!
