1 tsp. finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
pinch ground nutmeg

Cooking Instructions
Cook potato in boiling water to cover for 15 minutes or until potato is tender; drain. Combine potato and butter in a large mixing bowl; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Let cool. Add egg yolks and next 4 ingredients to potato, stirring well. Divide potato mixture into 10 portions. Wrap each portion around a cheese slice, shaping into an oval. Lightly dust each with flour; dip into beaten egg, and dredge in breadcrumbs. Cover and chill for 20 minutes. Pour oil to a depth of 4″ into a Dutch oven and heat to 340º. Fry, a few at a time, for 8 minutes, turning once. Serve immediately.
