Mustard Dipping Sauce:

1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon brown mustard
1/2 teaspoon horseradish

Peanut oil, for frying

For the potato bites: In a Dutch oven or deep fryer, pour the oil to a depth of 5 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat to 350 degrees F.

Combine the potatoes with the egg. Mix in the flour and mustard. Spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon, form into balls, and roll in the crushed pretzels. Deep fry until the bites float to the top and are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with the mustard dipping sauce.
