Step 1
Peel potatoes, cut into chunks, and boil in salted water until fork-tender, ~10 minutes. Drain and mash with salt and pepper until smooth.
Step 2
Fold shredded cheese into warm mashed potatoes. Cool for 2 minutes until handleable.
Step 3
Set up three shallow bowls: flour in one, beaten egg in the second, panko in the third. Shape potato mixture into 8 logs, each 3 inches long.
Step 4
Coat each log in flour, then egg, then panko, pressing gently so crumbs stick. Place on a plate.
Step 5
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until a breadcrumb sizzles immediately when dropped in. Fry logs 2–3 minutes per side until deep golden brown.
Step 6
Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Serve hot with sour cream or mustard for dipping.
