Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with greaseproof paper and set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine baked beans, mashed potato, cheese, and flour. Season with salt, onion, escallion, and hot pepper sauce. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll into a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
    Repeat to make approximately 12 balls.
  4. Set up a breading station with beaten egg in a shallow bowl and breadcrumbs on a plate. Dip each ball into the egg, letting the excess drip off. Roll in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to coat evenly. Return to the baking sheet.
  5. Heat oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Carefully add half of the veggie balls and fry for 3–4 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with absorbent paper. Repeat with the remaining balls.
  6. Arrange the baked bean veggie balls on a serving platter. Serve warm with Kendel Spicy Sweet Ginger Sauce.
