Potato and cheese balls can be both a beer snack and a full-fledged lunch for children. The recipe is based on simple ingredients: potatoes and cheese. This dish is especially suitable for picky eaters. Psychologists say that children enjoy eating food that can be picked up with their fingers and eaten without cutlery. These balls do not necessarily need to be deep-fried. They can simply be boiled.
