- Add the mashed potatoes to the bowl and mix all the ingredients well.
- Take a tablespoon of the mixture at a time, shape it into nuggets and place it on the parchment paper.
- Let set in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
- Meanwhile, beat the egg in a shallow bowl and place the breadcrumbs on a plate.
