Ingredients

  • 300 g of leftover mashed potato
  • 1 egg
  • 50 g of breadcrumbs homemade or packet are fine. If you want a different texture then consider some Panko breadcrumbs.
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Take your leftover mashed potatoes.
  • Whisk one egg in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Measure your breadcrumbs into a separate bowl.
  • Use a small ice cream scoop, or two tablespoons to roll your leftover mashed potato in small balls. The smaller the better to avoid them breaking up!
  • Once rolled dip the mashed potato balls into egg and then breadcrumbs.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with spray oil.
  • Add the mashed potato balls into the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry at 200C (390F) for 16 minutes. Check, and gently shake, at 5 minutes, then 10 minutes in, just to avoid the balls sticking to the bottom of the air fryer basket.
  • Serve with tomato ketchup and enjoy.
