How to Make Chicken Mashed Potato Fritters

  1. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded chicken, onion, flour, egg, milk, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Form the mixture into small patties or fritters (about 2 inches in diameter).
  3. Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish.
  4. Roll each fritter in the bread crumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Carefully place the fritters in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  7. Fry the fritters for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy! Consider serving with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sour cream or ranch dressing.
