Ingredients For Cheese Balls:
4 boiled potato
¼ Cup grated cheese (any hard cheese)
¼ Cup cornflour (corn starch)
1 teaspoon red chilli flakes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
Salt to taste

Ingredient For Stuffing:
100 gram mozarella or pizza cheese (cut into small squares)

Ingredients For Coating:
1 Cup bread crumbs
1 tablespoon cornflour
¼ Cup water

Ingredient For Frying:
2 ½ Cup cooking oil

Instructions

Prepare Cheese Balls:

Grate potato in a mixing bowl. Add grated cheese, corn flour, spices, salt, and pepper. Mix nicely and form smooth, non-sticky dough. There shouldn’t be any lumps in the dough.

To shape balls, grease your hands with a teaspoon of oil. Pinch a spoonful of dough. Shape it into a round ball. Gently flatten using fingers. Place a small piece of mozzarella cheese. Cover it neatly with the potato mixture. Once again, shape it into a round ball. Similarly, shape all the cheese balls. Keep in the fridge until ready to fry.

Coating Cheese Balls:

Combine cornflour with water and make a smooth paste. Set aside.
In another bowl, add bread crumbs. Place these two bowls next to each other.
Dip each cheese ball in cornflour liquid and then coat with bread crumbs evenly. Arrange coated cheese balls on a plate. Keep in the fridge while heating the oil.

Frying:

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is preheated, carefully add cheese balls into the hot oil in small batches. Fry till golden, and crisp from all the sides.
Transfer fried balls to a metal sieve.
Serve potato cheese balls immediately with ketchup or dip of your choice.
