Crispy Cheddar & Bacon Mashed Potato Balls

Instructions

1. Combine the cheddar, bacon & green onion in a mixing bowl. Place the flour in a 9x13 pan and set aside.
2. Working with about 2 tablespoons of mashed potatoes at a time, form the potato into a flat disk in the palm of your hand. Ball up about a tablespoon of cheddar/bacon mix and place it in the center of the potato disk. Form the potatoes around the cheddar mixture and shape into a ball. Place the balls into the pan of flour.
3. Continue to make balls until all the potatoes and filling are used up.
4. Combine the hot sauce, milk and eggs and whisk together until smooth. Place the breadcrumbs in a 9x13 pan and mix with the salt.
5. Roll all of the balls in the flour, then egg wash and then breadcrumbs and place on a tray. Refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 2 days covered.
6. When ready to serve, fry the balls in 375F oil until brown. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
