My hubby can’t get enough of these balls! Can just easily pop 5 in his mouth!
2 cups mashed potatoes
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped chives
1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil spray
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped chives
1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil spray
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, grated cheddar cheese, chopped chives, crumbled bacon, beaten egg, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball, and roll each ball in the breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
Place the potato balls on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray them with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Variations & Tips
For a vegetarian version, simply omit the bacon and add some finely chopped sautéed mushrooms for a different flavor twist. If you want to make these potato balls gluten-free, you can use gluten-free breadcrumbs. Also, consider adding different herbs like dill or parsley instead of chives, or try using different types of cheese. For an extra crunchy exterior, try double-coating the balls in breadcrumbs before baking.
