Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mashed potatoes
- 1 cup Cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Green onions
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, and green onions. Mix well until evenly combined.
Add the flour, eggs, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the mixture. Stir until a thick, moldable consistency is achieved.
Shape the mixture into small fritter patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.
Spread the breadcrumbs on a plate and roll each fritter in the breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Fry the fritters in batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as sour cream, ranch, or a tangy barbecue sauce.
