A Stuffed Potato Ball is a savory treat originating from Latin American and Caribbean cuisines, particularly popular in Puerto Rican and Cuban culinary traditions. This delightful dish features a crispy, golden-fried exterior made from mashed potatoes that encase a flavorful filling. The most common stuffing includes seasoned ground meat, such as beef or chicken, enhanced with spices, onions, peppers, and sometimes olives or raisins for a hint of sweetness. While its crispy texture comes from frying, baked versions offer a lighter option. Potatoes provide a source of fiber, potassium, and vitamin C, while the filling delivers protein. However, deep frying adds extra fats, making this dish higher in calories. Enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or paired with fresh salads, Stuffed Potato Balls showcase a balance of comforting flavors and textures with moderation being key to health-conscious indulgence.
