Method
 

  1. Start by cooking and mashing your favorite potatoes. Allow the mashed potatoes to cool slightly before mixing.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooled mashed potatoes, cheddar, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix in the eggs until smooth.
  3. Gradually add the flour to the mixture until it holds together well enough to shape.
  4. Shape the mixture into small balls or disks using your hands or a cookie scoop. Roll each in Panko bread crumbs for added crunch.
