 Ingredients List

  • Filling:
  • 3 cups chilled mashed potatoes
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup bacon bits
  • 1/4 cup chives, chopped
  • Pepper to taste
  • Breading:
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 medium eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded

 Directions

Combine the filling ingredients and mix well
Prepare the breading stations with one bowl of flour, one bowl of beaten eggs and one bowl of panko bread crumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese
Dust your hands with flour and use an ice cream scoop to measure the balls
Pat them gently to form them into balls and roll them in the palm of your hands to get them perfectly round
Immediately dust them with flour and set aside. Repeat until you have 24 flour-dusted balls
Drop a ball into the egg mixture and use a spoon to flip it over until fully coated
Lift the ball with the spoon and tilt the spoon at the edge of bowl to drain off any excess egg
Drop it in the panko mixture and use another spoon to dredge it fully. Pat in any excess bread crumbs. Set aside and repeat with remaining balls
Fry in batches in hot oil over medium high heat until golden brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels
If baking, bake at 400 degrees F for 5-10 minutes or until browned
Dish and serve hot
