What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

I omitted the cheese and added spices and hot sauce to the mashed potatoes. Also, keep the balls very small or they may still be cold in the middle but really brown on the outside. We made a white gravy to serve as a dipping sauce.
