Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Egg
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 4 cups Oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
Peel and boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 2
Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash them until smooth.
Step 3
Add cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder to the mashed potatoes. Mix thoroughly.
Step 4
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then shape it into small balls about the size of a golf ball.
Step 5
Set up a breading station: place flour in one bowl, beat the eggs in another bowl, and place breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
Step 6
Coat each potato ball in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally roll in breadcrumbs until completely covered.
Step 7
In a deep, heavy-bottomed skillet or fryer, heat oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
Step 8
Fry the potato balls in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Step 9
Transfer the fried potato balls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve hot and enjoy your crispy fried potato balls with your favorite dipping sauce.
