Fried Spam Balls - Cowboy Kent Rollins
Servings 8 to 10 balls
Ingredients
- 1 12-ounce can Spam grated
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup white onion minced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 4-ounce can chopped Hatch green chilies drained
- ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 2-3 cups Panko bread crumbs
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together the spam, mayonnaise, onion, garlic, green chiles and cheese. Slowly mix in the mayonnaise until the consistency will create a ball that forms together.
- With your hands, form the mixture into about 8 to 10 golfball-sized balls.
- Brush the balls with the eggs and then roll to coat generously in the bread crumbs.
- Add enough oil to a Dutch oven or fryer to deep fry the spam balls and heat to 350 degrees F.
- Add the spam to the oil a few at a time and fry for about 4 minutes, rolling around occasionally, or until they are golden brown.
- Drain on a paper towel or wire rack. Serve warm.
