@cookwithcalvin: Super Crispy Cheesy Mozzarella Potato Balls 🧀 These mozzarella potato balls are crispy and golden on the outside, while staying soft and fluffy inside with a delicious gooey mozzarella centre. They’re great as a party snack, appetiser, or comforting treat! ## 📝 Ingredients ### Potato Balls * 8 medium potatoes, peeled * 1 tsp salt (plus extra for boiling) * 2 tsp chicken bouillon powder * 2 tsp onion powder * 2 tsp garlic powder * 1 tsp smoked paprika * 2 eggs * 1 cup shredded mozzarella * ¾ cup grated Parmesan * 1 cup mozzarella, cut into small cubes ### Crispy Coating * 1 cup plain flour * 2 eggs, beaten * 2 cups crushed cornflakes (or breadcrumbs) ### Spicy Mayo * ½ cup mayonnaise * 1 tbsp sriracha * ½ tsp smoked paprika * ½ tsp garlic powder * ½ tsp onion powder * ½ tsp dried parsley ## 👩‍🍳 Instructions 1. Place the peeled potatoes in generously salted water and boil until they’re tender enough to pierce easily with a fork. Drain thoroughly, then mash until smooth. 2. Add the salt, chicken bouillon powder, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, eggs, shredded mozzarella, and Parmesan. Stir everything together until evenly mixed. 3. Place the potato mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes so it can firm up. 4. Take a portion of the mixture and gently flatten it in your hand. Put one mozzarella cube in the middle, then carefully close the potato mixture around it and roll it into a smooth ball. 5. Transfer the potato balls to the freezer for 1 hour, or until they become firm. 6. Roll each ball first in the flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally cover it thoroughly with the crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs. 7. Heat the oil to 180°C (350°F). Fry the balls for 3–4 minutes, turning as needed, until they become golden, crispy, and the mozzarella inside is melted. 8. While the potato balls are cooking, combine all the spicy mayo ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth. 9. Serve the potato balls immediately while they’re hot for the best crispy texture and gooey cheese pull. Enjoy with the spicy mayo! #mozzarellaballs #cheesypotatoballs #FoodTok #EasyRecipes #potatosnacks
