  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, stir together mashed potatoes and parsley; season with salt and pepper. In a shallow bowl, place flour; season with salt and pepper. In another shallow bowl, whisk egg with 1 tablespoon water. In a third shallow bowl, place 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs.
  2. Form potato mixture into 3/4-by-2-inch logs. Roll in flour, shaking off excess, dip in egg wash, then roll in breadcrumbs to coat.
