  • Place the bacon bits into a large bowl.
  • Add your mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, and green onions.
  • Stir to combine 
  • Line a baking pan with parchment paper. 
  • Place all of the mashed mixture on the baking pan.
  • Spread the mashed potato mixture evenly across the pan. 
  • Place it in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  • Use a circle cookie cutter and cut out circles of the mashed potato mixture. 
  • Set to the side.
  • Continue until you have all of the circles cut out.
  • Prepare your dredging station.
  •  Flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in the second bowl, and the panko crumbs in a third bowl. 
  • Dip your potato cake into the flour, then eggs and finally the panko crumbs. 
  • Place the potato cake in your Air Fryer,Make sure to ONLY do one layer of the potato cakes in the Air Fryer. Set the temp to 370 for 6-8 minutes. For best results, serve immediately, while hot and crispy.
