Ingredients:

• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and boiled

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 1 egg

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 cup breadcrumbs

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/4 tsp black pepper

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Mash the Potatoes – After boiling, mash the potatoes in a large bowl until smooth. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder if desired. Mix well.

2. Shape the Balls – Take a spoonful of mashed potato, flatten it in your hand, and place a cube or pinch of mozzarella cheese in the center. Close the potato around the cheese and roll into a ball.

3. Coat the Balls – Roll each ball in flour, then dip into beaten egg, and coat with breadcrumbs.

4. Fry Until Golden – Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the potato balls until golden brown and crispy on all sides.

5. Serve – Garnish with chopped parsley and enjoy while hot for the best cheesy stretch!
