2 cups
mashed potatoes
2 tablespoons of flour
2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 strips bacon, chopped or Oscar Meyer real bacon pieces
1/3 cup scallions, chopped
1 egg
1 ¼ - 1 ½ cups Panko crumbs
Oil for frying
Salt and Pepper
Ranch or Honey Mustard for dipping
Combine cheese, scallions, and bacon. Add potatoes and flour. Take a heaping tablespoon of mixture and roll with hands into a small ball. It if doesn’t hold its shape, add a little more flour to make the potatoes sturdy. Repeat until done. Heat oil in a medium sauce pan or use your fryer over medium/medium high heat to about 350-375 degrees. Whisk egg into a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Place bread crumbs in an additional bowl. Dip each ball in egg and then roll in bread crumbs until fully coated. Set aside on a sheet pan. Test oil with one ball. The oil should bubble when potato is in oil and ball should take about 1-2 minutes to brown and cook through. Once oil is ready, add potato balls in small batches and fry for 1-2 minutes it will depend on size. Remove with slotted spoon and place on paper lined plate to allow excess oil to drain off. Repeat until done. Allow to cool for a minute or two and serve with dipping sauce.
