Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the mashed potatoes, cheese and green onions together in a bowl.
Scoop 2 t. mashed potato mixture; roll into balls; place on the prepared baking sheet.
In a bowl, beat the eggs; add the flour to a second bowl; add the panko to a third bowl.
One by one, dip each potato ball, first in the flour, then the beaten egg and finally coated in the breadcrumbs.
Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F for 2-3 minutes. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
Place the balls in the basket in a single, even layer, not touching each other. (You will be cooking in batches.) Spray the tops of the balls with a little cooking spray.
Air fry at 375 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Gently turn them over halfway through the cooking time.
Serve immediately.
Makes 12 potato balls.
Tip: If making fresh mashed potatoes, let them cool for 30 minutes for easier handling.
