  6        tablespoons  shortening
  2                     onions -- chopped
  4               cups  mashed potatoes
  3                     eggs
     3/4           cup  sifted flour

Preparation:

Melt 4 tablespoons of shortening in a skillet. Add the chopped onions, saute for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the onions and cool. Preheat oven to 375. Melt the remaining shortening in the skillet. Mix together the potatoes, eggs, flour, salt, pepper, grated onion, and melted shortening. Knead until smooth. Break off pieces and shape into 2 inch balls. Make a depression in the center of each, and fill with a teaspoonful of the sauted onions. Cover the filling with the dough. Flatten the balls slightly with the palm. Place on a greased baking sheet. Nake in a 375 oven for 25 minutes or until browned.
