Method

  1. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with salted water. Bring the water to a boil.

  2. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the potatoes simmer until they are tender, which should take about 20 minutes.

  3. Drain the potatoes and mash them in the pot until there are no lumps remaining.

  4. Put the pot back on low heat and stir in the butter until it melts and the potatoes are no longer moist.

  5. Spread the mashed potatoes into the bottom of a wide bowl and refrigerate them until they are completely cooled, which should take at least 30 minutes.

  6. Beat the egg yolks into the cooled potatoes and season the mixture with salt and white pepper.

  7. Stir in the Cheddar cheese and diced onion into the potato mixture.

  8. Shape the potato mixture into tennis ball-sized spheres and arrange them in a baking dish. Refrigerate the potato balls until they are thoroughly chilled, which should take at least 1 hour.

  9. In a bowl, beat the eggs and water together.

  10. Spread the flour and bread crumbs into two separate wide bowls.

  11. Gently roll each potato ball in the flour to coat it, shaking off any excess flour.

  12. Dip each flour-coated potato ball into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated.

  13. Press the egg-coated potato ball into the bread crumbs, making sure all sides are coated. Gently toss the potato ball between your hands
