Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 3 Egg whites
- 2 Scallions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Peel and boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and allow them to cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the potatoes have cooled enough to handle, mash them in a large bowl until smooth.
Add the scallions, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the mashed potatoes. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Beat the egg whites in a small bowl until foamy. This will help bind the potato mixture and give a crispy coating.
Shape the mashed potato mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
Dip each potato ball into the egg whites, allowing the excess to drip off, then roll them in the breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
Place the coated potato balls on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray them with cooking spray to enhance crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the potato balls warm as a snack or appetizer.
