This is a spin on Cuban Potato Balls the granddaughters I am watching one doesn't like cooked olives so you can add olive if you like for myself the olives are in!!! I use meatballs because they are already premade and smoked. When I do these I use frozen ones when I made before. My granddaughters love meatballs so I make them often in large quantities and freeze so I can save some time.
