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.
