      Preparing the Mashed Potato Mixture:<\/h4>\n
        \n
      1. Chill Mashed Potatoes:<\/strong>\u00a0Ensure that your mashed potatoes are well-chilled. This makes it easier to shape them into balls.<\/li>\n
      2. Add Cheese and Chives:<\/strong>\u00a0In a large bowl, combine the chilled mashed potatoes with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Shaping the Potato Balls:<\/h4>\n
          \n
        1. Prep Stations:<\/strong>\u00a0Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in the third.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. Shape Potato Balls:<\/strong>\u00a0Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mashed potato mixture and shape it into a ball. Roll each ball in the flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. Place the coated ball on a plate or tray. Repeat until all the mixture is used.<\/li>\n
          2. Chill Again (Optional):<\/strong>\u00a0For an extra firm texture, you can chill the shaped potato balls in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before air frying.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Air Frying:<\/h4>\n
              \n
            1. Preheat Air Fryer:<\/strong>\u00a0Preheat your air fryer to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C).<\/li>\n
            2. Spray with Cooking Oil:<\/strong>\u00a0Lightly spray the potato balls with cooking spray. This helps achieve a crispy exterior.<\/li>\n
            3. Air Fry:<\/strong>\u00a0Place the potato balls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. Cook for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.<\/li>\n
            4. Check for Doneness:<\/strong>\u00a0Check one potato ball to ensure it\u2019s cooked through and has a crispy texture.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Serving:<\/h4>\n
