Elevate your snack game with these cheesy, crispy potato bites! Packed with flavor and sure to impress, theyre perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
– 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or your choice
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 tablespoon onion powder
– 2 cups mashed potatoes cooked and cooled
– 1/4 cup chopped green onions
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 2 tablespoons finely chopped cooked chicken or a plant-based alternative
– 1 large egg
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Oil for frying
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, chopped green onions, shredded cheese, chopped chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
2. Once your mixture is ready, form small balls, about the size of a golf ball, and set them aside.
3. In another bowl, beat the egg. Place the breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish.
4. Roll each potato ball first in the egg, then coat with the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. You want enough oil to allow the bites to float while frying.
6. Carefully place a few potato bites in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally.
7. Once cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil, and continue frying the remaining bites.
8. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy the cheesy goodness!
