To season, I sprinkle in a little garlic salt, pepper and Italian seasoning - but you could also add in other herbs or spices such as paprika or cayenne, depending on your taste.

Heat some oil in a skillet and pop in the balls - don't crowd the pan, you may need to do them in batches. Once you have your breaded mac and cheese bites, it's time to fry them.
