Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Form the mixture into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
  3. In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
  4. Roll each potato ball in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  6. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  7. Place the coated potato balls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching.
  8. 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.
  9. Once cooked, remove the potato balls from the air fryer and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.
  10. 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!
