Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large potatoes Wash and peel before cooking.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) You can replace it with pepper jack for a spicy kick.
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs For coating the potato bombs.
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper Season according to preference.
  • As needed Oil for frying Ensure oil is hot before frying.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into quarters and boil them in salted water until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them until smooth, then stir in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let them cool slightly.
  3. Mix in the shredded cheese and green onions with the mashed potatoes until the cheese is melted into the mix.
  4. Take a small amount of the potato mixture in your hands and form small balls, about the size of a golf ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
  5. Roll each ball in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated for that perfect crispy exterior.
  6. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the potato balls in the oil, frying until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes on each side).
  7. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bombs and let them drain on paper towels.
