Instructions: Soak the pork overnight in cold water to remove the salt, and cut into cubes. Extract the water from the grated potatoes by putting them in a cotton bag and squeezing vigorously. Mix the mashed potatoes with grated potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Roll the potato mixture into balls resembling small snowballs. Make a hole in the centre of the potato ball and add 1 Tbsp of the salt pork. Close the hole and roll the poultines in flour. Gently drop the poultines 2 or 3 at a time, into a large pot of boiling salted water, ensuring that the water is kept at a rolling boil.

Simmer the poultines for 2-3 hours. Eat the poultines hot with butter, salt and pepper, or as a dessert with sugar and molasses.

MAKES: 6 POULTINES
