Crispy Air Fryer Mashed Potato Balls are the perfect way to transform leftover mashed potatoes into a delightful snack or side dish. The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity; all you need are your creamy mashed potatoes, a bit of cheese, and a sprinkle of herbs for added flavour.

To begin, take your cold mashed potatoes and form them into bite-sized balls, rolling them gently to ensure they hold their shape. A quick dusting of flour, followed by a dip in beaten egg and a coating of breadcrumbs will give them that irresistible crunch.

Once they’re prepared, place the potato balls in the air fryer, where they’ll cook to golden perfection in a fraction of the time it would take to fry them traditionally. In mere minutes, you’ll have a batch of crispy, golden delights that are fluffy on the inside and satisfyingly crunchy on the outside. Serve them with a dollop of sour cream or your favourite dipping sauce for a more indulgent treat. Perfect for nibbles at a party or as a comforting side to your main meal, these air fryer mashed potato balls are a culinary delight that will leave everyone wanting more.
