Fried Mashed Potatoes | Delish

Pour oil into a large skillet over medium heat, filling it so the oil fills the pan a third of the way up.

In a large bowl, combine potatoes, cheese, chives, hot sauce, salt, and egg. Form into half dollar-sized dough balls, and drop by the spoonful into the warmed skillet. Note: If your mashed potatoes are a little runny, add a 1 tbsp. of flour at a time until you can form dough balls.

Fry the mashed potatoes, a few at a time (without crowding the pan), cooking each side until lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Top potatoes with sour cream and additional chives before serving.
