• 1  dash salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
• 1⁄2 teaspoon  chopped green onion
• 2  egg yolks, beaten
• 3  tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4  cups mashed potatoes

• 1 -2  cup  sifted dried  breadcrumbs
• 2  cups  oil, enough to fill pan 1/2-inch

Directions

1. Add milk, salt, pepper, chopped onion, beaten egg yolks and flour to mashed potatoes.
2. Chill and then shape using an ice cream scoop.
3. Dip in the beaten egg, then roll through bread crumbs.
