TOTAL TIME: 0 HOURS 25 MINS
- 3 cups leftover mashed potatoes
- 3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2/3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

DIRECTIONS
- In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes with cooked bacon, cheddar, chives, and garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Place eggs and panko in separate shallow bowls. Use a small cookie scoop to scoop 1” to 2” balls of mashed potato mixture. Roll into a ball in your hands, then dredge first in egg and then in panko. Repeat until all mashed potatoes are used.
