Potato Ball is a savory snack or side dish originating from fusion cuisines, combining mashed potatoes with various fillings such as seasoned meat, cheese, or vegetables. The filling is enveloped in a hearty potato mixture, breaded, and deep-fried to achieve a golden, crispy exterior and a warm, flavorful center. While traditionally associated with Latin American or Caribbean cuisines, variations of Potato Ball are found globally, each customized with local spices and ingredients. Nutritionally, Potato Balls provide a source of carbohydrates from the potatoes and protein from meat or cheese fillings. However, the deep-frying process can increase calorie and fat content. Healthier versions can be prepared by baking instead of frying or opting for vegetable-based fillings. Despite being an indulgence, its versatility makes it adaptable for those seeking to balance flavor and nutrition in moderation.
