Crispy Potato Balls
Ingredients:
- 500g potatoes
- 3 tbsp Natural Life Maize Starch
- 50g cheese (Parmesan)
- Parsley
- ½ tsp Natural Life Salt
- ½ tsp Natural Life black pepper
- Oil (for frying)
Yoghurt (for serving)
Instructions:
- We start by boiling the potatoes in a pot with plenty of salted water. Let them boil for about 15-20 minutes.
- Once boiled, drain them and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Then, mash the potatoes with a fork until they become a smooth puree.
- Add 3 tbsp of Maize Starch Natural Life, 50g of grated Parmesan cheese, ½ tsp of Natural Life salt, ½ tsp of Natural Life black pepper, and the chopped parsley to the mashed potatoes.
- Mix all the ingredients well until we have a smooth, uniform mixture.
- Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into small balls.
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium to high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully add the balls.
- Fry the balls for about 3 – 4 minutes until they get a nice golden and crispy crust on the outside.
- Once the balls are ready, remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve the crispy potato balls with a generous amount of yoghurt on the side as a dip.
