1 Package Ore-Ida Steam n’ Mash Cut Russet Potatoes
3 Cups Vegetable Oil
2/3 Cup Evaporated Milk
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 Cup Cheddar Cheese Shredded
1 Cup Romano Cheese Shredded
1 Cup Flour

Microwave Potatoes according to package instructions. Meanwhile, preheat oil in a 3 qt. heavy saucepan over medium high heat to 375ºF. In a large bowl, mix together hot Potatoes, milk and butter, and mash with a potato masher until smooth. For a smoother consistency, mix with an electric mixer to desired consistency. Stir in cheddar cheese, Romano cheese, flour and egg, and mix well. Drop 2 Tbsp. of batter into hot oil for each and fry for 1-1/2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Fry 6 to 8 at a time to avoid overcrowding the oil. Drain on paper towels. Garnish with grated Romano cheese and serve with your favorite marinara sauce if desired
