1. Combine the mashed potatoes, garlic, basil, parmesan cheese and 1 beaten egg. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
2. Take about 1 1/2 tablespoons of potatoes and form into a flat patty.
3. Place one mozzarella stick in the middle and wrap the potato around the cheese until it is evenly covered.
4. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
5. Place the flour, 3 remaining eggs, and bread crumbs in 3 separate shallow bowls. Dredge the bombs in the flour, shaking off any excess; then dredge in the egg and the bread crumbs.

7. Place the prepared bombs in the cooking basket. Spray with oil. Do not overcrowd to have an equal distribution of heat while it cooks. Cook in batches if needed.
