Balls of mashed potato and salsa? (6)
I believe the answer is:
dances
'balls' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'mashed potato and salsa?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'and' is 'dan' which is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dances that I've seen before include "Set movements to music" , "Eg, waltzes, tangos, etc" , "Trips the light fantastic" , "Ascend (anag)" , "Moves to music" .)
