Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, cheese, chives, cayenne pepper and bacon.
- Using a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into 1 1/4-to-1 1/2-inch balls, forming about 25.
- Working one at a time, dip balls into eggs, then dredge in Panko, pressing to coat.
- Working in batches, add balls to the Dutch oven and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve immediately, garnished with Parmesan, if desired.
Notes
- *Panko is a Japanese-style breadcrumb and can be found in the Asian section of your local grocery store.
