Turn those sad leftovers into something magical!

Fried Mashed Potato Balls
INGREDIENTS
  • 3 c. leftover cold mashed potatoes
  • 3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (or you can use bacon bits)
  • 2/3 c. shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice)
  • 2 tbsp. thinly sliced chives/green onions 
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 & 1/3 c. dry bread crumbs
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
 
DIRECTIONS
  1. In a large bowl, combine your leftover mashed potatoes with the cooked bacon, cheese, chives, and garlic powder. Then season with salt and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are combined.
  2. Put your eggs and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Use a small cookie scoop to scoop 1” to 2” balls of mashed potato mixture. Roll into a ball in your hands, then dredge first in egg and then in the bread crumbs. Repeat until all mashed potatoes are used. 
  3. Heat 3” of oil in a large cast iron skillet to 375º. Fry potato balls in batches until golden on all sides (2 to 3 minutes.)
  4. Drain on a paper towel lined plate and season immediately with more salt if needed.
