Servings: persons

8 ounces bacon, chopped, cooked and drained
4 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 -2 jalapeno chile, minced
1 bunch green onion, chopped
1/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups defrosted frozen shredded hash browns
1 cup coarsely shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 large eggs
4 cups finely ground corn flakes, divided
vegetable oil (for frying)
chopped parsley (optional)
ranch dressing, for dipping

1
Whirl bacon, cream cheese, onion, jalapenos, green onion, and sour cream in a food processor, about 1 minute. Place in a large mixing bowl.
2
Stir hash browns, cheddar, flour, cornstarch, salt, eggs, and 3 tablespoons ground cornflakes into bacon mixture. I added Flour and cornstarch accordingly to get the mixture to form into balls.
3
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop up a scant 1/4 cup of potato mixture and roll into a ball. Drop ball into a bowl filled with 3/4 cup cornflakes and roll to coat (mixture will firm up once coated). Place on sheet and repeat with remaining mixture. Chill until ready to cook.
4
Heat 2 inches oil in a medium pot until it registers 350u00b0 on a deep-fry thermometer. Fry potato balls, a few at a time, until golden, 5 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with ranch dressing.
