After you have your 2 cups mashed potatoes add bacon, cheese, egg (beaten), salt and pepper.. mix well

Let mixture cool for about 30 to 40 minutes

Heat oil on med high (you want enough oil to cover each ball halfway)

Scoop up mixture and roll in palm into balls about 1.5 inches thick

Coat each ball lightly on flour

Roll balls into a egg wash (1 egg and 1/2 cup water mixed together)

Then roll balls into bread crumbs and put into hot oil and fry about 3 to 4 minutes on each side of balls until golden brown

When done place on paper towel then light sprinkle of garlic salt
