Peel and cut potatoes into quarters, then boil in salted water for about 15–20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and transfer to a mixing bowl. Mash thoroughly until smooth.

In the bowl with mashed potatoes, add half the shredded cheese along with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until smooth.

Incorporate chopped green onions and egg into the mixture. Stir until fully combined.

Roll small portions into balls, about the size of a golf ball, and place on a parchment-lined tray.

Coat each ball in breadcrumbs until fully covered, then place back on the tray.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat until hot. Fry bites in batches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown, or bake at 400°F for 20 minutes.

Remove from heat and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
