Out of the Park Baseballs

1. Bring small saucepan of water to a boil. Add pepper slices and boil until pliable, about 5 minutes; drain. In medium saucepan, cook the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes, reserving 2 tablespoons cooking water, then return potatoes to the saucepan.

2. Add the Country Crock® Spread, sour cream, garlic, salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher or a ricer until the ingredients are blended and the mixture is fluffy. Add the reserved water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the potatoes are the desired consistency (keep them stiff enough to hold their shape).

3. Using an ice cream scoop, mold a scoop of potatoes into a half sphere on a plate. Add pepper strips to resemble laces. Cut strips of pepper into smaller 1/4-inch pieces to make cross-stitches. Make additional baseballs with remaining potatoes and peppers.See nutrition information for sodium content.
