Yield
Makes 18
Ingredients
2 large egg yolks
2 cups cold mashed potatoes
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
4 large eggs in a bowl
2 cups breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil for cooking
Preparation
Step 1
Mix 2 large egg yolks, 2 cups cold mashed potatoes, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, and 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour in a medium bowl. Roll into walnut-size balls; chill until cold, at least 2 hours.
Step 2
Beat 4 large eggs in a bowl; place 2 cups breadcrumbs in another bowl. Pour vegetable oil into a medium skillet to measure 1/2" (about 2 cups) and heat over medium-high until a pinch of breadcrumbs bubbles immediately when added. Dip potato balls in egg, then roll in breadcrumbs. Working in batches, fry, turning often, until golden brown and crisp, 3–4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
