Made with a combination of potatoes, cheese, and seasonings, these cheesy bites are fried to golden perfection. Whether served at parties or enjoyed as a quick snack, cheese balls are always a crowd-pleaser. They can be customized with various cheeses and spices to suit your taste.
Ingredients:
- 150g grated boiled potatoes
- 50g processed cheese (grated)
- 125g mozzarella cheese (grated)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg (lightly beaten)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Bread crumbs (for coating)
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, processed cheese, mozzarella cheese, flour, garlic powder, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form the Cheese Balls:
- Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into round balls, about the size of a golf ball.
- Coat the Balls:
- Dip each cheese ball into the beaten egg and then roll it in the bread crumbs until fully coated. Repeat with all the cheese balls.
- Fry the Cheese Balls:
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the cheese balls in the pan.
- Fry the cheese balls in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
- Drain and Serve:
- Remove the cheese balls with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
