Ingredients:

• 3 cups mashed potatoes (cooled)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (you can use seasoned breadcrumbs for extra flavor)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Ensure the mashed potatoes are well-cooled. You can use leftover mashed potatoes or prepare a fresh batch and let it cool.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Scoop out a portion of the potato mixture and shape it into a ball using your hands. The size can vary based on your preference, but aim for golf ball-sized potato balls.
4. Roll each potato ball in the beaten eggs and then coat it with breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
5. In a deep fryer or a large, deep skillet, heat enough oil for frying to 350°F (180°C).
6. Carefully place the coated potato balls into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until they are golden brown and crispy. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
7. Use a slotted spoon to remove the potato balls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve the potato balls while they are still warm. They are delicious on their own or with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as sour cream, ketchup, or a garlic aioli.

These potato balls are a crowd-pleaser and make for a tasty snack or appetizer. Enjoy!
