Oven-baked Potato Cheese Balls

We always end up with some mashed potato leftovers.

Oven-baked Potato Cheese Balls

But that’s not necessarily an issue, because that’s how this delicious potato cheese balls recipe came about—super soft, fluffy, with melted cheese on the inside, and deliciously crispy on the outside. I used mozzarella for this recipe, but you can experiment with other types of cheese. Also, here’s one of my favorite mashed potatoes recipe, if you happen to need one.

They can be perfectly paired with spicy tomato sauce or creamy garlic yogurt sauce. You’re bound to love them, too.

Instructions

  • Mix the mashed potato, egg, mozzarella, salt, thyme, and flour in a bowl until you get a homogeneous mix similar to a crumbly dough.
  • With slightly wet palms, shape balls 3-4 cm (1-1½ inches) in diameter.
  • Roll each ball in the breadcrumb and place it on a baking pan lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes at 190 °C/375 °F or until crisp and brown on the outside.
