fried mashed potatoes

Add Cheese for Extra Flavor: Adding cheese to the mixture (like cheddar or mozzarella) can add a melty, gooey center, enhancing the taste and texture

 Kid-Friendly: Fried mashed potatoes are a kid-friendly option, and they’re easy to hold and dip in sauces like sour cream, ketchup, or aioli.

Ideal for Parties: They make great finger food or appetizers for parties, potlucks, or family gatherings

Make Them Ahead of Time: You can prepare and shape the mashed potatoes in advance, then simply fry them when you’re ready to serve.

Customizable Coating Options: For added crunch, coat the potatoes in breadcrumbs, panko, or flour before frying.
