2

2 cups cold leftover mashed potatoes

1 egg, beaten

1/4 cup sliced green onions

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella

1 teaspoon garlic powder

kosher salt to taste

1/4 cup bread crumbs

1/2 cup vegetable oil

In a medium bowl mix all the ingredients except for the bread crumbs and oil. Using a tablespoon measure scoop out small balls of the potato mixture. Toss in the bread crumbs to coat. Store in the fridge.

Place the vegetable oil in a large pan on medium high heat. Once the oil is hot you can begin to fry the mashed potato balls.

Fry each ball, flipping or turning 3 times at least, cooking at about 3-4 minutes per side until each side is crispy and golden brown. Remove from heat and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Top with more salt if desired. Serve hot.
