I've never tried breading with potato flakes before but this makes me really want to try. I also like that you baked them afterwards instead of frying. Much healthier that way. Thanks for sharing.

What a great idea--using potato flakes to coat the beef-and-rice balls! Thanks. Wish I thought of that!
