Description

Delicious bites of comfort featuring creamy mashed potatoes and sharp cheddar cheese, offering a crispy exterior and a warm, cheesy center.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups mashed potatoes (prepared)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Oil or cooking spray for frying/baking

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients for convenience.
  2. If using fresh potatoes, boil until fork-tender, then mash with butter and cream.
  3. Blend warm mashed potatoes with cheddar cheese, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  4. Take golf ball-sized portions and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) for baking; cook for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Alternatively, heat oil for frying until crispy.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

Make-ahead: Prepare the mixture a day in advance and refrigerate. Cook fresh right before serving. For a healthier option, consider using an air fryer.
