- When done allow to cool.
- Once white sauce is cooled enough add 1/4 cup to the mashed potato, cooked bacon, chorizo and onion.

- I made these into golf sized balls. If time you could set these in the fridge to firm.
- To coat, roll balls in flour and shake off excess.
- Dip in beaten egg mix, then roll in panko breadcrumbs.
- Set aside and repeat until all are covered.
- With a large pan, add oil and heat on medium heat and shallow fry until balls are nice and golden. Drain on paper towel.
- Serve with salad leaves and what ever sauce you like.
White Sauce
- Mix flour and butter and cook off flour for 1 minute.
- Stirring all the time as not allow it to brown. Add milk a little at a time and keep stirring with a whisk to get rid of any lumps.
- Keep adding milk until all gone and the sauce is nice and smooth and thickening. Add salt to taste and than set aside to cool.
