🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 3 medium Potatoes
• 1 cup Ham
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 Eggs
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 2 Scallions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Peel and dice the potatoes. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring it to a boil. Cook the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender.

2. Drain the potatoes and mash them in a large bowl until smooth. Let them cool slightly.

3. Dice the ham into small cubes if not pre-diced. Add the ham, shredded cheddar cheese, eggs, all-purpose flour, milk, chopped scallions, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes.

4. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until they form a cohesive dough-like mixture.

5. Form small balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter, from the mixture and set them aside on a tray.

6. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).

7. Fry the potato puffs in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each batch for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

8. Remove the puffs with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

9. Serve the ham potato puffs warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a dollop of sour cream.
