Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized Potatoes
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel and boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.

Step 3

Mash the boiled potatoes in a large bowl until smooth, then let them cool completely.

Step 4

Once the mashed potatoes are cool, add the Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs. In another shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and a pinch of salt (optional).

Step 6

Using your hands, scoop about 1 tablespoon of the potato mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

Step 7

Dip each potato ball into the egg mixture, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated. Place the coated balls onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Drizzle the potato balls with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through baking, until golden and crispy.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
