Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 cups Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 3 cups Vegetable oil, for frying
Directions
Step 1
Peel and cube the russet potatoes. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large bowl. Add the unsalted butter and mash until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Step 3
Add the gluten-free flour, eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, salt, pepper, and paprika to the mashed potatoes. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Take about 2 tablespoons of the mixture at a time and roll it into balls.
Step 5
Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Roll each potato ball in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or a deep-fat fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Step 7
Fry the potato balls in batches, avoiding overcrowding, for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the fried potato balls with a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your Gluten-Free Crispy Fried Potato Balls with your favorite dipping sauce if desired.
