These are a nice alternative to matzo balls.
1 large potato, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound ground chicken
2 eggs
1 carrot, grated, optional
½ teaspoon salt
Liquid for cooking – either chicken soup or water
Put potato in a pot and cover with water and sprinkle of salt. Cook until cooked through but not soft. Drain water.
In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, blend together the potato, 1 egg, chicken, and salt. The mixture should be soft. Add 1 more egg. Blend until mixed.
Wet hands and form the mixture into balls (I make golf ball size because they puff up a bit). Drop into boiling chicken soup. Turn down the heat, cover and simmer until cooked through, about 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can cook these in boiling salted water. The liquid becomes a mild chicken stock and can be used later where chicken stock or flavored liquid is needed.
someone tell me if they are real balls
You form them into real ball like pieces, like golf ball size.
