Crispy on the outside & EXTRA cheesy on the inside.  Like for real, it is EXTRA CHEESY! IT IS SO GOOD!

These Potato Balls Recipe is filled with yummy bacon flavor and a hint of garlic spice.

Best way to use left over mashed potatoes or hide healthy greens and see your kids devour it with a comment like this “These are the best potato balls!“.

How to Cook Potatoes

It makes cooking so much easier when you prep all ingredients before you start cooking. 🙂

Deep fry in a small sauce pan filled with 2 cups of oil of your choice, I used Grape Seed Oil.  Cook over medium/high heat until golden color. Remove to a paper towel. Serve warm. Enjoy!
