Recipe β€” Crispy Cheese Potato Balls

Ingredients

3 large potatoes, boiled and mashed
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
ΒΌ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp chopped parsley
Β½ tsp garlic powder
Β½ tsp paprika
Salt & black pepper, to taste
1 egg
1 cup breadcrumbs
Β½ cup all-purpose flour
Oil, for frying

Instructions

Boil the potatoes until fork-tender. Drain, peel, and mash until smooth.
Mix mashed potatoes with Parmesan, parsley, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Take a small portion of the mixture and flatten it in your palm.
Place some mozzarella in the center and carefully seal it into a ball.
Coat each ball in flour, then beaten egg, then breadcrumbs.
Heat oil over medium heat.
Fry the potato balls until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.
