Shape Potato Balls: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mashed potato mixture and shape it into a ball. Roll each ball in the flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. Place the coated ball on a plate or tray. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Chill Again (Optional): For an extra firm texture, you can chill the shaped potato balls in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before air frying.
Air Frying:
Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Spray with Cooking Oil: Lightly spray the potato balls with cooking spray. This helps achieve a crispy exterior.
Air Fry: Place the potato balls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. Cook for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
Check for Doneness: Check one potato ball to ensure it’s cooked through and has a crispy texture.
Serving:
Serve Hot: Remove the air-fried mashed potato balls from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
Dipping Sauce (Optional): Serve with sour cream or ranch dressing for dipping.

Enjoy these delightful Air Fryer Mashed Potato Balls as a tasty appetizer, snack, or side dish. They’re crispy on the outside, cheesy on the inside, and perfect for any occasion.
