However, there is some good news and some bad news that I have to give you before we move onto the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups leftover mashed potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups dry bread crumbs
  • 2 cups vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Combine the mashed potatoes with salt, paprika and garlic powder. Taste and add more seasoning if desired.
  • Scoop out about 1 1/2 tablespoons of mashed potatoes and flatten into a disk on your palm. Fill with a little bit of mozzarella cheese (about a teaspoon) and then fold over the mashed potato disk so that it forms a ball, roll to shape evenly into a round shape. Continue until the mashed potato mix has been used up.
  • Now it's time to set up the dredging (breading) station: In a shallow dish place the flour. In another shallow dish whisk the eggs. Place the breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish.
  • Taking each mashed potato ball, dredge it lightly in flour, rolling it so that it's covered completely. Lightly shake to brush off the excess flour.
  • Then dip the mashed potato ball into the whisked eggs and coat completely, and then dip in the breadcrumbs, making sure it's fully coated in the breadcrumbs.
  • In a large wok or dutch oven, heat oil to a medium high heat. Fry the mashed potato balls in batches for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Transfer and drain on a paper towel lined plate.
  • Serve immediately.

    Hi

    Wow mouth watering recipe from a young mother who either has a great taste for life's little luxuries or has a husband who is a food lover (plus friends who are food lovers) -- or most probably all three!!!

    I wonder if the same can be made a little flatter (rather than round ) and then grilled under medium heat turning once.

    I love the recipe but dont fancy visiting the heart attack valley via fry-ups for a few years!
