Mash the boiled potatoes in a large bowl until smooth.
Stir in cheddar cheese, Parmesan, green onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Mix until everything is well combined and cheesy.
Shape into bites: Take about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a small ball (or flatten slightly into discs). Continue until all the mixture is used.
Coat for crispiness:
Dredge each potato bite in flour, then dip in beaten egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
Place them on a plate or tray.
Fry until golden: Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the potato bites in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve: Serve warm with ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli for dipping.
🧀 Baking Option (Healthier):
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place coated bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spray with a little oil, and bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.
💡 Tips:
Add a few diced jalapeños or bacon bits for a flavor boost.
You can also stuff a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center for extra melty goodness!
Make ahead and freeze uncooked bites — just fry or bake straight from frozen.
🍽️ Perfect For:
Game nights, family parties, or when you just crave something crispy and cheesy!
