Oven-baked mashed potato balls
Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed potato
- 2 spring onions, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, cut in 1/2 inch cubes
- 1 egg, beaten
- Flour
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon oil
- Gravy, to serve
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- In a bowl combine the mashed potato with green onion, garlic powder, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- In another bowl combine panko bread crumbs and oil, until oil is absorbed.
- Dust your hands with flour, take about a spoon of potato mixture, flatten and add a cheese cube in the center.
- Wrap and form into a ball. Roll in flour, dip in egg and then roll in panko mixture, pressing if necessary to stick well. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture.
- Place the ball into a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden and crisp. Don’t over bake or the cheese will start to seep out.
- Cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve with gravy.
