Description

This delightful dish features golden, crispy potato balls that are both easy to prepare and satisfying to eat. The texture is reminiscent of traditional potato croquettes, but with a fun twist. Whether served at a dinner party or enjoyed at home, these crispy potato pom poms are sure to impress.

Ingredients

2 cups of mashed potatoes (preferably the day-old kind)
1 cup of all-purpose flour
1 cup of breadcrumbs (panko recommended for extra crunch)
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil for frying
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Begin by preparing your mashed potatoes. If using freshly made mashed potatoes, let them cool down slightly before continuing.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
To form the pom poms, take a small amount of the potato mixture and shape it into a ball, about the size of a golf ball. Repeat until all the mixture is shaped.
In three separate bowls, set up your dredging station: one with flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with breadcrumbs.
Roll each potato ball first in flour, then dip it into the egg, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs.
Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the potato balls in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the potato pom poms for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove them from the oil and place them onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot.

Enjoy these crispy, golden delights as a snack or an appetizer; they pair wonderfully with a variety of dips such as ranch, garlic aioli, or even a spicy ketchup. Bon appétit!
