Ingredients
- 3 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and cube the potatoes. Place them in a pot of cold water, bring to a boil, and cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
Drain the potatoes and mash them in a large bowl.
Step 3
Add grated cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, garam masala, and chopped parsley to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until fully combined.
Step 4
Shape the potato mixture into golf ball-sized balls and set aside.
Step 5
Prepare a breading station with three shallow bowls. Place flour in the first bowl, beat an egg into the second bowl, and fill the third bowl with breadcrumbs.
Step 6
Roll each potato ball in flour, then dip in the beaten egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Repeat until all the balls are breaded.
Step 7
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Step 8
Carefully place a few balls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 9
Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Step 10
Using a slotted spoon, remove the balls from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
Step 11
Serve the fried balls hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
