Cheesy Leftover Mashed Potato Balls

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the Havarti cheese into 48 cubes. Reserve half of the cubes for a cheese board and set the other half aside.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk the egg. Add the panko bread crumbs to a separate bowl.

3. 3

   Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mashed potatoes, stuff a cheese cube inside, roll into a ball, then dip in the flour. Set aside.

4. 4

   Preheat the oven to 400°F.

5. 5

   Using a fork, place each ball in the whisked egg, then carefully remove it, draining any excess egg. Dip in the bread crumbs and turn until fully coated.

6. 6

   Grease a mini muffin tin with avocado oil spray. Place each mashed potato ball into a muffin cup to hold its shape while baking.

7. 7

   Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden and crisp on the outside. Use a spoon to push in any melted cheese that oozes out.

8. 8

   Let the balls cool for a few minutes, then serve warm with a dip, if desired.
