Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form the mixture into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
- In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Roll each potato ball in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the coated potato balls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching.
- Air fry for 10 minutes, then gently shake the basket to turn the balls and continue to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the potato balls from the air fryer and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
Chef’s Tips
- For added flavor, mix in cooked bacon bits or chopped green onions into the potato mixture.
- Ensure the mashed potatoes are cool to help the balls hold their shape during frying.
- Experiment with different types of cheese for a unique flavor twist!
