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
- 0 Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 3
Once the potatoes have cooled enough to handle, mash them in a large bowl until smooth.
Step 4
Add the scallions, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the mashed potatoes. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Step 5
Beat the egg whites in a small bowl until foamy. This will help bind the potato mixture and give a crispy coating.
Step 6
Shape the mashed potato mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
Step 7
Dip each potato ball into the egg whites, allowing the excess to drip off, then roll them in the breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
Step 8
Place the coated potato balls on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray them with cooking spray to enhance crispiness.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the potato balls warm as a snack or appetizer.
