Begin by peeling and washing the potatoes, then cutting them into small pieces. Place the pieces in a pot of boiling water and let them cook for around 15 minutes, or until they become soft.
Once the potatoes are ready, drain them and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Use a potato masher or fork to mash them until they become smooth.
To the mashed potatoes, add a combination of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika powder, and all-purpose flour. Mix everything together thoroughly until it’s evenly combined.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the potato mixture and shape them into balls. You should be able to make around 12-15 balls.
After shaping the balls, dip each one into beaten egg and then coat them in breadcrumbs.
Heat up some vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the potato balls in batches for around 2-3 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the potato balls from the pan, and then transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels. This will help to absorb any excess oil.
Finally, serve the potato balls hot with your favourite dip or sauce.
