1/2cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
1 large egg
1/2cup breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Boil and Mash Potatoes: Boil diced potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.
Prepare Potato Mixture: Stir in minced garlic, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Form and Coat: Form mixture into small bite-sized balls. Roll each ball in breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry potato pops in batches for 3–4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Serve: Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For a healthier option, bake the potato pops at 400°F for 20 minutes, turning halfway through.
You can add cooked bacon bits or green onions for extra flavor.
