About Time: Yields: 4 servings Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes (including air fryer option) Total Time: 30 minutes Slimming World Syns per serving: Free! Ingredients: 3 cups leftover mashed potatoes (made with fat-free milk or spray) ½ cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese, grated ¼ cup Quorn or other vegetarian bacon crumbles (optional) 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions Salt and black pepper to taste 1 large egg, beaten 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs ½ teaspoon garlic powder ½ teaspoon onion powder Instructions: Combine: In a large bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, grated cheese, vegetarian bacon crumbles (if using), chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Ensure everything is well incorporated. Shape: Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. If the mixture feels sticky, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes to firm up. Coating: Dip each ball first into the beaten egg, then roll it in whole wheat breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Optional Chilled Set: For a crispier crust, place the coated balls on a plate and refrigerate them for another 10 minutes to set the coating. Air Fryer or Slimming World Friendly Cooking: Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C). Place the potato balls in the basket, ensuring they don't touch. Lightly spray them with Frylight. Cook for 5 minutes, then flip the balls and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Slimming World Friendly Pan-Frying: Heat a non-stick frying pan with a spray of Frylight. Fry the potato balls over medium heat until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Serve: Enjoy your hot potato bites with your favorite Slimming World friendly dipping sauce, like fat-free yogurt mixed with herbs. Tips: If your mashed potatoes are very soft, add a tablespoon of quark or cottage cheese to help the balls hold their shape (remember these are Syn-free options). Experiment with different herbs and spices to add variety to your potato bites. Enjoy these delicious and satisfying potato bites without compromising your Slimming World journey! mynrecipes.com
