Ingredients
  • 4 slices bacon
  • Cooking oil spray
  • 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
  • 2 tbsp onion, small diced
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups panko
  • ½ cup AP flour
  • 2 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan for garnish, optional
  • 1 tsp parsley flakes for garnish, optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  • Place the bacon slices in the AF basket. Close the AF basket.
  • Select Air fry set the temperature to 400°F and time for 4 Minutes. Press Start.
  • Once the AF shows the Turn Food sign, flip the bacon with tongs and close the basket to continue to cook.
  • Once the food cycle ends, remove the AF basket.
  • Place the bacon on a cutting board and chop. Put it aside.
  • Combine mashed potatoes, cheese, chives, onion, and bacon in a large bowl.
  • Roll the mixture into balls, using a small cookie scoop, forming about 25.
  • Working one at a time, dip balls into flour first, eggs, lastly, dredge in Panko, pressing to coat and then dipped back in egg wash and then back into the panko again. This double-thick coating is necessary to form a coating barrier to prevent your balls from melting out.
  • Work in batches and place them on a lined parchment paper tray.
  • Freeze the balls for 2-3 Hours minimum or overnight.
  • Select Air fry set the temperature to 400°F and the time for 12 Minutes. Press Start.
  • Meanwhile, Spray the cooking oil or brush the oil on all sides of each ball.
  • Once the AF shows the Add Food sign, open the AF basket and place the balls carefully into the AF basket. Close the AF basket.
  • Once the AF shows the Turn Food sign, flip the balls with tongs and close the basket to continue to cook.
  • Once the cooking cycle ends, remove the AF basket, and place the balls on a serving plate (work on baches).
  • Serve immediately, garnished with grating Parmesan and parsley flakes on top, if desired. Enjoy!
