Made too much mashed potatoes and had to put the pot of leftovers in the fridge? No problem!

It is clear that the side dish will not be as tasty when reheated.

And there is no need to heat up the puree. It is better to turn it into another dish.

Leftover side dishes are a great base for these gorgeous and incredibly delicious potato balls.

If the dish turns out to be too soft, use cling film: this “shell” will allow you to give the mixture the desired shape.

Place the resulting balls in the freezer for 60 minutes.

Dredge each frozen potato piece in flour, raw egg and bread crumbs.

After this, all that remains is to fry the balls in a deep fryer or pan.

The result will be an incredibly appetizing, crispy and beautiful-looking dish. You will definitely like the dish more than heated mashed potatoes.
