  2. 2.

    Beat 4 large eggs in a bowl; place 2 cups breadcrumbs in another bowl. Pour vegetable oil into a medium skillet to measure 1/2" (about 2 cups) and heat over medium-high until a pinch of breadcrumbs bubbles immediately when added. Dip potato balls in egg, then roll in breadcrumbs. Working in batches, fry, turning often, until golden brown and crisp, 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
