Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Potatoes
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 Eggs
- 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Boil them in a pot of salted water until they are soft, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and mash them until smooth. Allow the mashed potatoes to cool slightly.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, fresh parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Using your hands, roll the mashed potato mixture into 1.5-inch balls. Set them aside on a plate or tray.
Place the all-purpose flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in three separate shallow bowls.
Roll each potato ball in the flour, shaking off excess. Then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the potato balls in batches to the hot oil. Fry them for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the potato balls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crunchy potato balls warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch, or spicy mayo. Enjoy!
