Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Mozzarella cheese (block or shredded)
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 200 grams Boiled and mashed potatoes
- 30 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried mixed herbs (optional)
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for binding if needed)
- 500 milliliters Oil (for deep frying)
Instructions
Grate the mozzarella cheese into small, even pieces or use pre-shredded mozzarella cheese.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated mozzarella, mashed potatoes, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper powder, red chili flakes, and dried mixed herbs (if using). Mix well to form a smooth, moldable dough.
If the mixture seems dry and crumbly, add milk one tablespoon at a time to help bind the ingredients. The mixture should be soft but not sticky.
Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a small ball approximately 1.5 inches in diameter.
Spread the breadcrumbs onto a plate. Roll each cheese ball in the breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating. Press gently to help the breadcrumbs adhere.
Prepare a deep frying pan with oil and heat it over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F) or until small bubbles form around a wooden spoon dipped into the oil.
Carefully place 3-4 cheese balls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Flip them occasionally to ensure even browning.
Remove the fried cheese balls using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces such as marinara, ranch, or spicy mayonnaise.
