Cheesy Roasted Garlic Potato Balls from Life's Ambrosia

I have discovered the ultimate way to use up leftover mashed potatoes and theperfect appetizer for New Year’s Eve cocktail parties. First you mix left over potatoes with fresh roasted garlic and shredded Gruyere cheese. Next they are coated in a mixture of regular and panko bread crumbs. Finally you take the cheesy roasted garlic potato balls and fry them until they are perfectly golden brown. They are crispy on the outside and oh so soft on the inside.
As if I really needed another way to eat mashed potatoes. But after trying something similar to this out at a local restaurant, I couldn’t resist the temptation to make them at home. I mean really, there is no possible way that you could go wrong with fried mashed potatoes.
