Potato Cheese Balls

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.

Potato Cheese Balls - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of cheese for the potato cheese balls?

Yes, you can use any melty cheese like mozzarella, cheddar, or gouda. Just ensure it's cut into small cubes so it melts evenly.

How long can I store leftover potato cheese balls?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.

Can I make these potato cheese balls gluten-free?

Yes, substitute the flour with gluten-free flour or breadcrumbs for coating. Ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free as well.

What are some dipping sauces that pair well with potato cheese balls?

Try marinara sauce, ranch dressing, chipotle mayo, or garlic aioli for extra flavor.

Can I freeze the potato cheese balls before frying?

Absolutely! Freeze them on a tray first, then transfer to a bag. Fry directly from frozen, adding a minute or two to the cooking time.

How can I make this recipe low-carb?

Replace the potatoes with mashed cauliflower and use a low-carb flour alternative like almond flour for coating.

What’s the best way to reheat potato cheese balls to keep them crispy?

Reheat in an air fryer at 350°F for 5-7 minutes or bake at 375°F for 10 minutes for optimal crispiness.

Can I make these potato cheese balls ahead of time?

Yes, prepare the balls and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before frying. For longer storage, freeze them as mentioned earlier.

How do I prevent the cheese from leaking while frying?

Ensure the mashed potato layer is evenly thick and sealed tightly around the cheese. A double coating of flour can also help.
