Get them ingredients: five pre-mashed potatoes, aged cheddar cheese (2 cups), sour cream (1 1/2 cups), 1 cup chopped fresh chives, flour, egg wash, panko, and 1 cup diced/ cooked bacon. Be sure to save the bacon fat.
Put some oil on high heat for about 10mins (350 degrees, if you've got a frying thermometer). Then throw those puppies in and let 'em sizzle until they're golden brown. PLEASE BE CAREFUL.
The sauce is super simple -- just combine sour cream and any remaining cheese in a heated pan with oil. Garnish them balls with scallions and nibble on them while watching Sex and the City serve them to the guys for the game! And don't forget to show the ballers at Pizzeria Orso some love.
