This recipe is courtesy of quarantine. I was bored, wanted a snack, had left over mashed potatoes, and wanted to try something new.
Ingredients:
1 cup left over mashed potatoes
1/4 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
2 tsp. chives or parsley
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 egg
1 cup panko bread crumbs
canola oil for frying
Directions:
1. Combine mashed potatoes, cheese, and half of herbs. Season with salt, pepper, cayenne and garlic powder. Stir until everything is well mixed.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk egg. In a third separate plate, lay out bread crumbs.
3. Roll mashed potato mixture into small 1 inch wide balls. Coat them lightly in egg and then coat them in bread crumbs tapping off the excess. Put onto a plate until ready to fry.
4. Preheat a saucepan full of canola oil to 350. Drop 2-3 breaded potato balls in a time into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown on all sides. Remove from oil and put onto a paper towel lined plate. Season with a pinch of salt while potato balls are still hot.
5. After frying all of the potato balls, move to a serving platter. Serve with some dipping sauces. I recommend ketchup, sour cream, or a garlic mayo. Top with remaining fresh herbs.
