INGREDIENTS

• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 2 1/2 c. mashed potatoes
• 1/2 c. shredded cheddar
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 tbsp. finely chopped chives, plus more for garnish
• 1/2 tsp. hot sauce
• 1/2 tsp. kosher salt 

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add enough oil to fill pan a third of the way up. In a large bowl, stir potatoes, cheese, egg, chives, hot sauce, and salt until combined. (If your mashed potatoes are a little runny, add flour one tablespoon at a time until you can form dough balls.) 
2. Working in batches, scoop heaping tablespoons of mixture and drop into hot oil. Fry until golden on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. 
3. Top potatoes with sour cream and chives before serving.
