Here’s a simple and delicious recipe to make Potato Cheese Bites:

Ingredients:

2 medium-sized potatoes (boiled and mashed)

1 cup cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or your choice), grated or cubed

2 tablespoons cornflour (or all-purpose flour as an alternative)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for a little heat)

1/2 teaspoon oregano (or any dried herbs of your choice)

Salt to taste

1 tablespoon chopped coriander or parsley

1 cup breadcrumbs (for coating)

1/4 cup all-purpose flour + water (for slurry)

Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potato Mixture:

2. Add Cheese:

Take a small amount of the potato mixture in your hand, flatten it, and place a small cube of cheese (or a pinch of grated cheese) in the center.
Wrap the potato mixture around the cheese to form a ball or bite-sized oval shape.

3. Coat the Bites:

In a small bowl, prepare a slurry by mixing 1/4 cup all-purpose flour with a little water until smooth (should be a thin consistency).
Dip each potato cheese bite in the slurry and roll it in breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.

4. Fry the Bites:

Heat oil in a deep frying pan on medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, gently drop the coated bites into the oil and fry them until golden brown and crispy.
Remove and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

5. Serve:

Serve the Potato Cheese Bites hot with ketchup, mayo, or any dip of your choice.

Tips:

Make sure the cheese is sealed well to prevent it from oozing out while frying.
For a healthier option, you can bake the bites at 375°F (190°C) for about 15–20 minutes until golden and crispy.
Spice it up with a pinch of paprika or garlic powder for added flavor.

Enjoy these crispy, cheesy delights! Perfect as a snack or appetizer! 🧀🥔✨
