Parmesan and Garlic Potato Bites

I love coming up with recipes to use up all my leftovers and this has to be my favorite one yet. We always have a ton of mashed potatoes left over after Christmas dinner so these Parmesan and Garlic Potato Bites are the perfect way to use them up.

We have a big family so we celebrate all of Christmas week with lots of get togethers so that we can fit everyone in. I love that this recipe allows me to repurpose the traditional mashed potato dish.



I started with 2 cups of plain mashed potatoes and then added a couple pantry staples…an egg, some seasoning, a little bit of garlic and shallots, then rolled the potato balls in freshly grated parmesan cheese and Italian style bread crumbs. After a light pan fry in a little bit of canola oil, these little balls of golden goodness were ready. I am pretty sure they are going to be a new holiday tradition at our house.
