Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Egg
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 4 cups Oil for frying
Instructions
Peel and boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash them until smooth.
Add cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder to the mashed potatoes. Mix thoroughly.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then shape it into small balls about the size of a golf ball.
Set up a breading station: place flour in one bowl, beat the eggs in another bowl, and place breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
Coat each potato ball in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally roll in breadcrumbs until completely covered.
In a deep, heavy-bottomed skillet or fryer, heat oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the potato balls in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Transfer the fried potato balls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot and enjoy your crispy fried potato balls with your favorite dipping sauce.
