Number Of Ingredients 12

2 c very cold mashed potatoes i put them through a ricer
1/2 c corn starch
3 large eggs
1 Tbsp minced parsley
1 Tbsp shredded fine parmesan cheese
1 tsp minced onion
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 pinch white pepper
1/4 c minced cooked bacon bits
1 c fine dry bread crumbs, seasoned or not
peanut oil or coconut oil for frying - enough to cover balls when deep frying
thin sticks or skewers, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Throughly mash potatoes in a bowl or rice them into a bowl. In another bowl whip together 1 egg, parsley, cheese, onion, salt and pepper and bacon. Add to potato mixture and whip until well combined. Place mixture in freezer for about 20 minutes do not freeze - just till very cold- makes frying crispy.
  • 2. In 3 separate shallow pans place... Pan 1- 2 beaten eggs Pan 2- the cornstarch Pan 3- the bread crumbs
  • 3. If potato mixture is very cold begin forming into tight walnut sized balls- dip each in the egg, then cornstarch-shake off excess- then back into egg and then into the bread crumbs shake off excess. Place on plate and chill in freezer 15 minutes or so. Do not freeze just very cold while oil is heating up to 350^ in deep heavy pan or deep fryer.
  • 4. This makes about 15 balls. I usually make double batch. String 3 balls on thin sticks or skewers carefully or fry single.Lower into hot oil on a slotted spoon. Keep your eye on these- when they are done they will float to the top- but if you see that they are sticking -give them a gently nudge- do not over crowd them in the fryer. Cook until lightly browned.
  • 5. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on absorbent paper towels. Best eaten warm but good cold too. Serve with ranch dressing or honey mustard.

I thought these mashed potato sticks were a bit too expensive for what they were. I could have made them at home for a fraction of the price.

These mashed potato sticks were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had drained them on paper towels before serving.

These mashed potato sticks were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had baked them instead of frying them.

I was skeptical about these at first, but they were actually really good. The mashed potatoes were creamy and flavorful, and the breading was crispy and golden brown.
