Set out three bowls, put flour in one, reserve the middle one for eggs, and breadcrumbs in the rightmost bowl, plus a clean plate to the right of the bowls.

Separate one egg and put the yolk in the mashed potatoes, and the white into the middle bowl. Add the other egg to the middle bowl and mix the eggs together well.

Mix the yolk into the mashed potatoes well, and take this opportunity to season the potatoes more if desired.

Use your hands and roll the potatoes into balls about the size of a ping pong ball and set aside.

Begin dredging all of the balls in flour, then in the eggs, then finally through the breadcrumb mixture.

Put the pan with oil over medium-high heat and wait until it shimmers before adding potato balls. Do not crowd the pan, you may need to fry in batches depending on your pan size.

Use tongs to turn the balls over as they begin to lightly brown. Turn the heat to medium if they are getting too dark of a brown.

Remove the completely browned balls to a paper towel lined plate.
