Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Crispy Stuffed Potato Balls that are golden on the outside and soft inside:
Ingredients (for 6–8 balls)
- 3 large potatoes, boiled and mashed
- ½ cup grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1–2 green chilies, finely chopped (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (for coating)
- 1–2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Potato Mixture:
- Mash the boiled potatoes until smooth.
- Mix in onion, green chilies, coriander, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Make the Filling:
- Take a small portion of the potato mixture and flatten it in your palm.
- Place a small cube of cheese in the center.
- Carefully fold the potato around the cheese and roll it into a smooth ball.
- Coat the Balls:
- Roll each ball first in flour, then dip in beaten egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
- Fry Until Crispy:
- Heat oil in a deep pan.
- Fry the balls on medium heat until golden brown and crispy (about 3–4 minutes).
- Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve Hot:
- Serve with ketchup, mayo, or a spicy dip of your choice.
💡 Tips:
- You can stuff them with cooked vegetables, minced meat, or herbs instead of cheese.
- For a healthier version, bake them at 200°C (400°F) for 20–25 minutes instead of deep frying.
