Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Potatoes

1. Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 12–15 minutes.
2. Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the milk, butter, and Parmesan cheese. Mash until smooth and well-combined.
3. Season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly and let it cool to room temperature.

2. Add the Herbs

1. Combine the finely chopped parsley, cilantro, dill, chives, and thyme in a small bowl.
2. Gently fold the herb mixture into the mashed potatoes, ensuring even distribution. The herbs should add a vibrant aroma and color to the mixture.
3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up.

3. Shape the Potato Bites

1. Using clean hands or a small scoop, shape the potato mixture into bite-sized balls or cylindrical shapes, about 1 inch in diameter.
2. Place the shaped potato bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for another 20 minutes to ensure they hold their shape during frying.
