Ingredients

  • 2 cups of cooked rice
  • 1 cup of mashed potatoes
  • 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup of chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup of breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
  • Oil for frying

Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Frying pan
  • Spatula

Method

  1. In a bowl, mix together the cooked rice, mashed potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
  3. Place the beaten eggs in a separate bowl and the breadcrumbs in another bowl.
  4. Dip each ball into the beaten eggs, then coat it with breadcrumbs. Repeat this step until all the balls are coated.
  5. In a frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place a few rice balls into the pan, making sure not to overcrowd it.
  6. Cook the rice balls for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Using a spatula, remove the rice balls from the pan and place them onto a plate lined with paper towel to drain any excess oil.
  8. Repeat steps 5-7 until all the rice balls are cooked.
  9. Serve the cheesy potato rice balls hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
