Ingredients

• 2 cups seasoned bread crumbs

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Beat eggs lightly in a small bowl; set aside. Pour bread crumbs onto a plate.

Step 3

Roll cold mashed potatoes into 1-inch balls. Coat in eggs and roll in bread crumbs.

Fry fritters in the hot oil until golden brown, about 30 seconds, working in batches as needed. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
