Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small chunks.
Step 2
Place the diced potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until soft, about 10-12 minutes.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes and mash them until smooth. Allow them to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, grated Parmesan cheese, all-purpose flour, egg, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a firm dough-like consistency forms.
Step 5
Gently fold in the mozzarella cheese cubes to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 6
Shape the potato mixture into small, 1-inch cubes.
Step 7
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep saucepan or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 8
Carefully fry the potato cubes in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides. This should take about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Step 9
Remove the cubes with a slotted spoon and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 10
Serve the Mama Mia Cubes hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or aioli. Enjoy!
