In large bowl, mix mashed potatoes, cheese, cream cheese the bacon and 1 of the eggs with spoon until blended. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls.  

In shallow bowl, place bread crumbs. In another shallow bowl, beat remaining 3 eggs. Coat potato balls with bread crumbs, then dip into eggs and coat again with bread crumbs.
