Potato Balls are crispy, golden spheres made from seasoned mashed potatoes, typically stuffed with a savory filling like ground meat or cheese, before being coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried or baked. Originating from Latin American and Mediterranean cuisines, these indulgent snacks are particularly popular in dishes such as Cuban croquetas de papa. While they are rich in flavor, their healthfulness depends on preparation methods. Baked variations offer lower fat content compared to deep-fried ones, and fillings can be adjusted for more nutritious options like vegetables or lean proteins. Potatoes provide potassium, vitamin C, and dietary fiber, while moderation is key due to the added carbohydrates and fats from frying and stuffing. Potato Balls are a hearty and satisfying treat, often enjoyed as appetizers or comfort food, blending crispy textures and creamy interiors in each bite.
