Boy! They sure look tasty. I think I have everything I need. Cept my eggs are expired. Lol. Maybe sis in law will let me borrow 2 if mine aren't any good.

And i gotta convert all those grams........ lol.

Are you talking about if your eggs float a bit?  That only means they are not fresh out de nest.

Lemmne go check. August 13.
I think I better try to borrow some.lol

Well, it's a done deal.
I doubled the recipe. Got 18 large balls. Most about the size of 2 golf balls, some about the size of a baseball. 8 oz of cream cheese was more than enough to fill them generously.

They were surprisingly light and airy for something deep fried.
Very good!

The only thing I did different was use cream cheese( all I had and they were excellent) and I added Hawk Cajun Seasoning in addition to salt to the flour, potatoes, and batter.But not nearly enough! That's a lot of flour and potato that has to be saesoned!

They were great for "normal" people.
But a cajun/Coonass got to have a little more spice dan dat!

I'll tell you this, it was a lot of prep time to get to the final frying phase.
And I had a dishwasher full of dirty pots and bowls.

But I'm going to do it again soon with more spice and cayenne, now that I know where I stand.

Everyone will love them, so give them a try.

And speaking of the background in the photo, thats another thing I'd add to the potatoes when mashing or folding in the flour.
Some green onion, shallot, chives, or a bit on finely minced onion.

And Bacon too!
