Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups mashed potatoes prepared and cooled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese sharp
  • 0.25 cup green onions finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 2 whole eggs beaten
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, green onions, flour, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
  • Shape the mixture into 1.5-inch balls. Roll each ball in the beaten eggs, then coat with bread crumbs.
