Potato Chorizo Balls

Serves 4

These will be amazing if you chill the mashed potato, but if you don't it could be a big mess – but without doubt these are worth the effort.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups chilled pre-made mashed potatoes, seasoned with green onion and cholula
• 1 cup chorizo
• 1/2 cup jack cheese
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 eggs, beaten

DIRECTIONS

1. Pre-heat your deep fryer, use peanut or canola oil
2. Cook chorizo for 5 minutes in skillet
3. Fill two large plates, one panko, one eggs
4. Keep mashed potatoes in fridge until the last minute
5. Grease your hands with olive oil
6. Make a rough 3'' patty from mashed potato, place a teaspoon of chorizo and a pinch of jack in center and bring in the edges of potato to form a ball
7. Roll in the egg, cover in panko then deep fry in small batches until golden.

Or, you could be like I was on the show... just eff it, mix the mashed potato and chorizo, roll into balls and do egg wash and panko and deep fry until golden.
