Parmesan Garlic Potato Balls: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 41 minute

Ingredients

– 2 pounds russet potatoes
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 large egg
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
– 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ½ teaspoon paprika
– Oil for frying (vegetable or olive oil)


Instructions

Creating Parmesan Garlic Potato Balls is a simple process if you follow these easy steps:

1. Boil Potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Boil them in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
2. Mash Potatoes: In a large bowl, mash the potatoes until smooth and free of lumps.
3. Add Ingredients: Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir until well combined.
4. Form Balls: Using your hands, shape the potato mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Coat with Breadcrumbs: Roll each potato ball in breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
6. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of oil over medium heat until shimmering.
7. Fry Potato Balls: Carefully add the potato balls to the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
8. Drain Excess Oil: Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked potato balls to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
9. Serve Warm: Allow the potato balls to cool slightly before serving.

These steps will ensure that your Parmesan Garlic Potato Balls turn out perfect every time.
