Ingredients
6 Potatoes
1 Onion (Diced)
2 Bacon Rashes-diced
6 Mushrooms-Sliced
1 tsp Garlic
1 cup Bread crumbs
Directions
- Boil potatoes in salted water, we left them unpeeled to add more flavour but it is a personal choice. Boil rapidly for 15 minutes until soft.
- Heat large frypan over high heat, add bacon, onion, mushroom and garlic and stir until soft just browned.
- Once potatoes are cooked, drain and mash. Add bacon mix and stir through mashed potato. Pour breadcrumbs into a small bowl.
- Spoon 1 heaped tablespoon of mix and roll into a ball then coat in breadcrumbs. Set aside and repeat until all mix is rolled into balls.
- Heat deep fryer to 190 degrees. Place 4-6 balls in the basket and cook until golden brown, 1-2 minutes.
- Serve Immediately.
Notes
- Bacon and Potato Balls are suitable for freezing, or kept refrigerated for up to two days in an airtight container.

I just made these. But I really think they need an egg in them because the oil just blew the crumbs off and disintegrated the mash
Hi Lexi, I’ll let the ladies know 🙂
What if you don’t have a deep fryer?
Hi LeighLee,
Fill a saucepan with oil and deep fry that way. 🙂
