Recipe Box, Panko Potato Balls

Here’s a fun little bite you can make out of those leftover holiday potatoes
With about 2 servings left of mashed potatoes or a potato casserole, like Hash Brown Potato Gratin, or Slow Cooker Brown Butter Potatoes, you can whip up 20 little potato balls for a deliciously different appetizer
Use a spoon or small cookie dough scoop to form bite size balls.* Dip balls in beaten egg and then cover with panko bread crumbs
*Add bacon, chives, cheese, anything you want to jazz up your leftover potatoes
Fry 1-2 minutes until golden, drain and salt
HHjr was trying to get fancy with a sour cream and onion drizzle
But the squeeze bottle exploded and the stuff went flying everywhere…
Great party entertainment!!

I never met a potato I didn’t like Jenna! The problem for me would be to have leftover potatoes to begin with 🙂 Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Bite at your house, love that last photo. ♥

Thanks for your visit Amalia!
Adorable kiddos! I have no doubt that I would eat too many of these but I also think the extra exercise time will be worth it.
Thanks Sandra, I like to make little bites, they seem a little less guilty 🙂 >
