Sent in by Tim Kish.

~ 2 cups cooked catfish, flaked
~ 2 cups mashed potatoes
~ 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
~ 1 large egg
~ 1 tsp salt
~ 1/2 tsp pepper
~ bread crumbs
~ oil to deep fry

Flake fish into small pieces in a large bowl.

Add the mashed potatoes, onion, egg, salt and pepper. Combine well.

Shape into 1” balls and roll in the bread crumbs to coat.

You can season the bread crumbs with your favorite seasonings (Cajun, etc.) if desired.

Add the balls to hot oil and fry until golden brown. It won’t take long so keep an eye on them.

Drain on paper towels and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Enjoy!
