Loaded Mashed Potato Balls

Ingredients

2 cups boiling water
1 cup milk
2 tbsp butter
Salt & pepper, to taste
2 ½ cups Cinderella Instant Mashed Potatoes
1/2 cup grated cheese
1 tsp dried chopped chives
4 spring onions, finely sliced
½ cup flour
2 eggs
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Cooking oil spray

Method

1. In a large bowl, combine boiling water, milk, butter, salt, and pepper.
2. Gently stir in the Cinderella Instant Mashed Potatoes using a fork until just combined—do not overmix. Let stand for 1 minute to thicken.
3. Add grated cheese, dried chives and sliced spring onions to the potato mash. Gently mix until evenly combined.
4. Chill the mixture in the fridge for 15-20 minutes for easier handling (optional, but helpful!).
5. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mash mixture and roll into balls. Place on a baking paper lined tray.
6. Set up 3 bowls, in bowl 1 add flour, in bowl 2 add beaten eggs and in bowl 3 add the panko breadcrumbs.
7. Roll each ball in flour, dip into egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.
8. Preheat the air fryer to 190°C.
9. Lightly oil the air fryer basket and arrange the potato balls in a single layer (not touching).
   Spray the tops with a little more oil.
10. Air fry for 10 -15 minutes, turning gently halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
11. Serve hot with sour cream, spicy mayo, or your favourite dip!
