Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, bread crumbs, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form the bites: Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into bite-sized balls. Then, gently flatten each ball slightly to form small patties.
- Heat the oil: Pour cooking oil into a skillet and heat it over medium heat until hot enough for frying.
- Fry the bites: Place the potato cheese bites in the hot skillet in batches. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Drain excess oil: Remove the fried bites from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb and drain excess oil.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the crispy potato cheese bites hot as a snack or appetizer and enjoy their cheesy, crispy goodness.
Notes
- Ensure potatoes are well grated and excess moisture is squeezed out to get crispy bites.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with any cheese of your choice for different flavors.
- Use fresh cooking oil and monitor the temperature to avoid soggy bites.
- For extra crispiness, you can add a bit more bread crumbs to the mixture if it feels too wet.
