Crispy Cheese Potato Balls (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 2 cups cold mashed potatoes

→ Cheese

02 - ½ cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
03 - 1 cup mozzarella or cheddar, shredded

→ Coating

04 - 1 cup breadcrumbs
05 - 1 egg, whisked
06 - Olive oil or cooking spray

→ Seasonings

07 - Salt and pepper, adjust to taste
08 - ½ teaspoon onion powder
09 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder

# Instructions:

01 - Stir together the potatoes, spices, and cheeses in a bowl.
02 - Roll the mix into balls, about 1.5 inches wide. If it's sticking to your hands, pop it in the fridge first.
03 - Dip each ball into the beaten egg, then roll it in breadcrumbs until fully coated.
04 - Cook in the air fryer at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, giving the basket a shake halfway through. Look for a crispy, golden finish.

# Notes:

01 - Chilled potatoes make it easier to handle.
02 - Swap out cheeses for different flavors.
03 - Hold in a 200°F oven to keep warm if cooking in batches.
