Step by Step: How to Make Crispy Potato Chicken Balls
1: Mix the Filling
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, mashed potatoes, onion, garlic, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
- Mix thoroughly with clean hands or a spoon until fully combined.
2: Shape and Coat
- Shape the mixture into small golf ball sized rounds.
- In a shallow bowl, mix breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese.
- Roll each ball in the breadcrumb mixture, then dip in beaten eggs, and roll again in breadcrumbs for a second crispy layer.
3: Fry Until Golden
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Fry chicken balls in batches, turning occasionally until evenly golden brown and fully cooked inside (4-5 minutes per side).
- Remove and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil.
4: Serve Hot
- Serve immediately with ketchup, garlic sauce, ranch, or any favorite dip they’re as versatile as our crispy chicken strips.
