I grew up eating potatoes. They were a big delicacy in our home and there were only two ways to prepare them it was either boiling or frying, convenience was key in food preparation.
Lately, I have gained a lot of patience with food preparation and the desire to make new recipes look all surmountable

The potato balls require a little patience but its all worth it.
They are a great way to cook up left over mashed potatoes and they are definetely great party bites

1

If you are using boiled potatoes mash your potatoes well.
2

Prepare all the ingredients.
3

Season your potatoes with salt and any other spices of your choice, I prefer pepper always. Mix the spices well by remashing again.
4

To make the potato balls.Scoop a chunck using a spoon. Flatten it.
5

Place cheddar cheese on the middles
6

Cover the cheese well with potato to form a ball. Repeat the process for all other chunck of mashed potatoes.
7

To coat the potato ball. Dip it in the flour
8

Cover with egg wash. This helps hold the bread crumbs. If you dont like eggs you could use corn flour and water mixture instead.
9

Finally coat with bread crumbs. I like generous crumbs. Repeat process for all others
10

Pre heat your deep frying oil in a sufuria. Deep fry the potato balls till they get well browned.
11

Place them in a paper towelled bowl.
12

Enjoy the potatoes as snack to a party... Enjoy with ketch up or marinara sauce.

You can also bake them instead of deep frying.
