purple potato balls with cheese

How to Make Cheese Purple Potato Balls

Cheese purple potato balls are a delightful blend of sweet, savory, and creamy flavors, perfect as a snack or dessert. Here’s a simple guide to making them.

Ingredients:

- 2 medium purple potatoes (peeled and steamed until soft)

- 50g grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese

- 2 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)

- 1 tbsp milk (for binding)

- 50g all-purpose flour (for coating)

- Oil for frying

Steps:

1. Prepare the filling: Mash the steamed purple potatoes until smooth. Mix in sugar, milk, and half of the grated cheese. Stir well to form a soft dough. Divide into 8-10 equal balls.

2. Add the cheese core: Take one potato ball, flatten it, and place a small cube of cheese in the center. Seal the edges tightly to enclose the cheese, then roll it into a smooth ball. Repeat for all.

3. Coat and fry: Roll each ball in flour, shaking off excess. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the balls in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

4. Serve: Drain on paper towels. Let them cool slightly—the cheese will be molten inside. Enjoy warm!

These crispy-on-the-outside, creamy-on-the-inside balls are a crowd-pleaser. For a healthier version, bake them at 200°C for 15-20 minutes instead of frying.
