Ingredients
Scale
2 cups leftover mashed potatoes (cold)
1 large egg, beaten
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup breadcrumbs (panko)
½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (parsley or chives)
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking spray
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the cold mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, and chopped herbs. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form the mashed potato mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Set up a breading station with flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls.
Roll each potato ball in flour, then dip in beaten egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
Place the breaded potato balls in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
