1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 c. chopped green onions
1/4 c. real bacon bits

Directions:
Place mashed potatoes in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.  Stir in the egg, cheese, onions and bacon bits.  Shape into 1 inch balls; roll in bread crumbs.  Let stand for 15 minutes.
