Method: Boil, mash potatoes, hard boil eggs and mash. Chop the bacon, mushrooms and onions and fry them together until cooked in the butter. Mix ingredients together and form into rolls. Dust with flour, dip in beaten egg and roll in breadcrumbs. Fry in deep fat until golden brown. Maybe frozen and reheated in oven if fried before freezing.
