## 🔪 How to Make Them:
1. **Mix the Base:**
In a bowl, combine mashed potatoes with cheese, herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
2. **Shape the Balls:**
Take a tablespoon of the mixture and roll into small balls. If desired, insert a cube of cheese or filling in the center before sealing.
3. **Coat for Crunch:**
Roll each ball in flour, dip in beaten egg, then coat in breadcrumbs. For extra crispiness, double-dip by repeating the egg and breadcrumb step.
4. **Fry to Perfection:**
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the potato balls in batches until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5. **Serve & Enjoy:**
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces—think spicy ketchup, garlic aioli, or even ranch!

## ✨ Pro Tips:
– Chill the balls in the fridge for 15–30 minutes before frying to help them hold their shape.
– Bake or air fry them for a lighter version—just spray with oil and cook until crispy!
– Add chopped jalapeños, bacon bits, or cooked veggies to the mix for fun flavor twists.
