Ingredients

1 pound white fish fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 ½ cups mashed potatoes
½ cup chopped green onions
1 large egg, well beaten
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 pinch Creole seasoning, or to taste
1 cup panko bread crumbs, or as needed
1 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

Season fish with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook fish in the hot skillet until almost completely cooked through, turning as needed, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
Transfer fish to a bowl and flake with a fork. Add mashed potatoes, green onions, egg, flour, and Creole seasoning. Mix thoroughly. Add panko, a tablespoon at a time, as needed to firm up balls. Form mixture into small balls or patties.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Deep-fry fish balls, working in batches, in the hot oil until golden brown, about 5 minutes per batch.
