Ingredients

For the Potato Mixture:

4 large potatoes, peeled and boiled

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

For the Filling:

1 cup mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes

For Coating:

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup breadcrumbs

For Frying:

Vegetable oil

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Potato Mixture

Mash the boiled potatoes in a large bowl until smooth.

Add Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and parsley. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 2: Shape the Potato Balls

Take a small amount of the potato mixture (about 2 tablespoons) and flatten it in your hand.

Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center, then shape the potato mixture around the cheese to form a ball. Ensure the cheese is fully enclosed.

Repeat the process until all the potato mixture is used.

Step 3: Coat the Potato Balls

Roll each potato ball in all-purpose flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. For extra crunch, you can repeat the egg and breadcrumb coating.

Step 4: Fry the Potato Balls

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough by testing with a small breadcrumb—it should sizzle immediately.

Fry the potato balls in batches, turning them occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. This should take about 2-3 minutes per batch.

Remove the balls using a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve the Cheesy Potato Balls warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as marinara, ranch, or spicy mayo.

They’re quick to prepare and even quicker to disappear! Whether you’re entertaining guests or craving comfort food, this recipe is sure to impress.
