Best served hot and crispy, these fried mashed potato balls are a quick and easy snack to make. A great appetiser or packed in snack boxes, use leftover mashed potatoes to try these delicious fried mashed potato balls.
Peel and wash the potatoes. Cut them into small pieces and boil in a pot of water for about 15 minutes or until they are soft.
Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Mash them with a potato masher or fork until they are smooth.
Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika powder, and all-purpose flour to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
Scoop the potato mixture with a tablespoon and shape them into balls. You should be able to make around 12-15 balls.
Dip each ball into the beaten egg, then coat them in breadcrumbs.
Heat up the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the potato balls in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the potato balls from the pan and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
