Anyone have a recipe for fried macroni balls like Fridays Restaurant makes?

Answer 1

i tried this one i got off the net and it was a winner

leftover prepared macaroni and cheese, refrigerated for at least overnight (should not be from the box type)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 egg, beaten with
2 tablespoons water
1 cup breadcrumbs, preferably Japanese panko
oil (for deep frying)

Cut refrigerated macaroni and cheese into slices or bite size pieces.
Season the flour with cayenne, salt,and pepper.
Dredge each piece through the flour mixture and gently tap off extra.
Dip in the egg wash and then coat with the bread crumbs.
Allow them to rest for 5 minutes so the crust can set.
Very carefully drop into the oil and fry until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels for a few minutes or place on a rack with a cookie sheet underneath.
Serve.

Answer 2

I don't know if they are the same as Friday's, but Emeril made fried macaroni and that website (foodnetwork.com ) should have it.

Some sites recommend using Stouffer's Frozen Mac 'n Cheese, slightly thawed and shaped into balls and rolled in bread crumbs, then refrozen and then fried in deep fat at 350F for three minutes, drain and serve. Overcooking may make them fall apart.

And this has a "scratch" recipe:

1/2 pound elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon powdered mustard
3 cups milk
1/2 cup yellow onion, finely diced
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 large egg
12 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Fresh black pepper
Topping:
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup panko bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente.
While the pasta is cooking, in a separate pot, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and mustard and keep it moving for about five minutes. Make sure it's free of lumps. Stir in the milk, onion, bay leaf, and paprika. Simmer for ten minutes and remove the bay leaf.
Temper in the egg. Stir in 3/4 of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Fold the macaroni into the mix and pour into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.
Melt the butter in a saute pan and toss the bread crumbs to coat. Top the macaroni with the bread crumbs. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and rest for five minutes before serving.
Remember to save leftovers for fried Macaroni and Cheese.
