Ingredients
Show ingredients
- potatoes, boiled in their skins – 4-5 pcs;
- any hard cheese – 100-120 g;
- raw egg – 1 pc;
- bread crumbs;
- salt and spices;
- vegetable oil for frying – 300 g.
Preparation
- For 4-5 medium potatoes, take 100-120 g of cheese and one egg. The grated potato and cheese should look approximately equal in size. Peel the potatoes and grate them, perform the same operations with the cheese. Whether you use a coarse or fine grater doesn't have much significance. Add the egg, salt, and any spices to the mixture. Curry or khmeli-suneli, paprika, peppers, turmeric, ginger, oregano, dried garlic, cumin. Without spices, it will be a bit bland, although still tasty, so experiment and find your flavor.
- Shape the mixture into balls with dry hands and roll them in bread crumbs. The process will be very interesting for children, so get the little ones involved.
- In a pot, heat the vegetable oil. You need enough oil for the balls to float without touching the bottom, so you will need quite a bit – about 300 g. Carefully drop the potato-cheese balls into the hot oil and fry them on all sides for about 3-4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked balls, let the oil drain, and place them on a plate.
- Serve the potato-cheese balls hot with any sauce, herbs, or vegetables. You can simply place them on the table as a tasty snack without any additions.
