Notes from the Test Kitchen:
This recipe turns leftover mashed potatoes into something super tasty! The mustard and pretzels gives these bite sized treats great taste. And I liked the cheese dip too. Next time I make these, I may add some red pepper flakes to the the potatoes to give 'em even more flavor. Great recipe... I couldn't stop eating these!

1: egg
1/2 c: flour
1 Tbsp: brown mustard
1 c: fine crushed pretzels

1 c: sour cream
