Ingredients
3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 egg, beaten
3 c. leftover mashed potatoes
2/3 c. shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp. thinly sliced chives
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 1/3 c. panko bread crumbs
Vegetable oil, for frying
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes with cooked bacon, cheddar, chives, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Place eggs and panko 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 panko. Repeat until all mashed potatoes are used.
- Heat 3” of oil in a large cast iron skillet until candy thermometer reads 375°. Fry potato balls in batches until golden on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on a paper towel lined plate and season immediately with more salt.
