Crispy Potato Chips & Cheese-Stuffed Balls: 2-in-1 Fried Potato Recipe!

on

Crispy on the outside, creamy or cheesy on the inside – these Fried Potato Chips and Cheese-Stuffed Balls bring two addictive textures in one recipe. Whether you're hosting a party or just craving a savory snack, this recipe transforms humble potatoes into something extraordinary. Made with pantry staples and easy steps, this dish will steal the spotlight at any gathering.

Potatoes are beloved in every cuisine for good reason: they're versatile, satisfying, and downright comforting. In this recipe, I give them a creative twist by turning one batch into two delicious treats. One half becomes crispy, piped potato chips that are fun and light, while the other becomes round, golden balls filled with gooey mozzarella cheese. The balance of seasoned mashed potato and the richness of fried cheese creates that perfect snack combo – crunchy, savory, and melty. For best results, use starchy potatoes like Sebago or Russet, which mash smoothly and hold their shape when fried. Want to prep ahead? You can shape both versions, refrigerate them, and fry right before serving.

Key Ingredients & Their Roles:

  • Potatoes → The starchy base that creates a fluffy mash perfect for shaping and frying.
  • Corn flour → Adds light crispiness and helps the mixture hold together.
  • Paprika powder → Gives warmth and a subtle smoky flavor.
  • Parsley → Adds freshness and a pop of color that balances the richness.
  • Mozzarella cheese → Melts beautifully inside the potato balls, offering a delicious surprise with every bite.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Can I use sweet potatoes instead?
Yes, but they will be softer. Add extra corn flour for stability.

You can, but they won't be as crispy. Spray lightly with oil and bake at 200°C (400°F) until golden.

3. How do I store leftovers?
Cool completely and refrigerate in an airtight container. Reheat in an air fryer or oven for best texture.

4. Can I freeze them?
Yes. Shape them, place on a tray to freeze, then store in freezer bags. Fry directly from frozen.

5. What dipping sauce goes best?
Try sour cream with chives, spicy ketchup, or garlic aioli.
