Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 50 grams Grated parmesan cheese
- 150 grams Breadcrumbs
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and dice the potatoes. Boil them in salted water until they are soft, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
Drain the potatoes and mash them in a large bowl until smooth. Allow them to cool slightly.
Step 3
To the mashed potatoes, add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, and grated parmesan cheese. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Step 4
Shape the mashed potato mixture into small balls, about the size of a ping pong ball.
Step 5
Set up a breading station: place flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in a third dish.
Step 6
Roll each potato ball first in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Make sure each ball is evenly coated.
Step 7
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a breadcrumb into the oil; if it sizzles and turns golden brown, the oil is hot enough.
Step 8
Carefully add the potato balls to the hot oil in batches, without overcrowding the pan. Fry them for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove the potato balls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 10
Serve the potato balls hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
