Mashed Potato Balls

This idea came to me a while ago, and I finally executed it with flying colors. The mashed potato formula is an old family favorite my mother wipes up all the time. I just jazzed it up using panko, homemade breadcrumbs and eggs. Delicious as a light snack and oh so good with hot sauce! If anyone does make this, please let me know your thoughts.






Recipe:

2 potato's peeled
1 onion cut half moon
Small handful chopped parsley and tarragon
2 tablespoons of butter
1 green chili chopped finely
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg beaten
1 cup panko
1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Method:

Cook the potato under tender, fry the onion until golden brown and drain on kitchen towel. Mash the potato with a ricer. In a frying pan heat the butter and add the potato, chili, onion and season with salt and pepper. Lightly stir for 5 min until the potato turns into a golden brown color, set aside. Assemble the eggs, panko mixed with breadcrumbs, parsley and tarragon in separate bowls. Make the potato mixture into golf size balls and dip into the eggs and panko/breacrumbs/herbs and shallow fry until golden. Serve warm.
