Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups mashed potatoes (prepared)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons chives (finely chopped)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Cooking spray (for baking)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the prepared mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, egg, chives, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Roll each ball in breadcrumbs until completely coated, then place them back on the baking sheet.
Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
