Start by boiling peeled potatoes in salted water for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and mash until smooth, adding salt and pepper to taste. Let cool slightly.

In a large bowl, combine warm mashed potatoes with shredded cheese and chopped green onions. Crack in the egg and mix until creamy and smooth.

Shape the mixture into small balls or puffs and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring uniform sizes.

Roll each puff in breadcrumbs and press lightly to coat evenly. Return to the baking sheet.

Heat a skillet with 1/4 inch oil at 350°F. Fry the bites for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown, or bake at 400°F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.

Remove the bites and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
