Bake for 15 minutes.
Cover a meatball with a layer of mashed potatoes and mold it with hands. Continue molding it into a ball.
Dip the meatball in a bowl of flour. Repeat with remaining meatballs.
Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Fry the mashed potato-covered meatballs in batches until golden brown.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
