Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c leftover mashed potatoes
1 egg, beaten
3/4 c shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 c minced onion
1/4 c bacon bits
1/2 c Panko bread crumbs
1 Tbsp chives
1/4 tsp salt and pepper
oil for frying

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all ingredients, except for Panko crumbs, in a large bowl. (This recipe calls for leftover mashed potatoes so the potatoes will most likely already be seasoned so add just a bit more salt and pepper.)
  • 2. Shape into 1-inch balls or use a cookie scoop. Roll balls in Panko crumbs to coat completely.
  • 3. Heat 1 inch of oil to 375 degrees in an electric skillet or a large frying pan on the stovetop. Fry potato balls in small batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
