- 1 cup slightly expired dehydrated mashed potatoes
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Rehydrate the dehydrated mashed potatoes according to package instructions.
In a bowl, mix together the rehydrated mashed potatoes, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Shape the mixture into small balls using your hands.
Dip each mashed potato ball into the beaten egg, then roll in more bread crumbs.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
