How to make Potato Cheese Balls
Prepare the Potato Mixture
- Step 1
Mash the boiled potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
- Step 2
Add processed cheese, boiled corn, grated ginger, chopped green chillies, coriander leaves, crushed black pepper, chilli flakes, oregano, and salt to taste. Mix everything well to form a smooth mixture.
Prepare the Bread Crumbs
- Step 1
Cut the edges of the bread slices and grind them to make bread crumbs.
- Step 2
Mix the bread crumbs with chilli flakes and set aside.
Prepare the Slurry
- Step 1
In a bowl, mix cornflour, refined flour, and salt.
- Step 2
Add water gradually to make a smooth slurry. Ensure there are no lumps.
Assemble and Fry the Cheese Balls
- Step 1
Take a small portion of the potato mixture and flatten it in your palm. Place a small piece of mozzarella cheese in the center and shape it into a ball.
- Step 2
Dip the ball into the slurry and then coat it with the prepared bread crumbs.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the cheese balls one by one until they turn golden brown and crispy.
