Ingredients

  • 2 cups mashed potatoes
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoon green onion
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 egg
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 3/4 cups Panko crumbs
  • oil vegetable

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl add the mashed potatoes, sour cream, green onion, cheddar cheese, and celery salt. Mix until everything is combined. (I mix it by hand for the best results).
  • Form the potato mixture into 1 1/2 to 2 inch balls. Once the balls are made place  1/4 cup of flour in a bowl. Dredge the balls in the flour. Beat the eggs with the water in another bowl. Place the panko crumbs in another. bowl. Dip the balls in the beaten egg, making sure that the ball is cover by the egg mixture, and then roll the balls in the panko crumbs.
  • Once the balls are completed place in the refrigerator for at least one hour.  Once it has been at one hour. Heat about 1/16th of an inch of oil in a heavy skillet. To see if the oil is hot enough drop water into the oil if it splatters it is hot enough.
  • Fry the potato balls in batches. Using a slotted spoon keep turning the balls until they are golden brown on all sides, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oil and place the balls on paper towel. Serve.
