Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by peeling and dicing your fresh potatoes, then place them in a pot of salted boiling water. Cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes, then drain well.
- Transfer the hot potatoes to a mixing bowl and mash until smooth. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- In the bowl with your mashed potatoes, stir in half of the shredded cheese until evenly distributed. Add chopped green onions and the egg, combining thoroughly.
- Fold in the remaining cheese for that gooey goodness, ensuring everything is well-mixed.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out generous amounts of the cheesy potato mixture and roll them into small balls.
- Prepare a plate with breadcrumbs for coating, then roll each potato puff in the breadcrumbs and lay on a baking sheet.
- In a deep frying pan, heat around 2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the puffs until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, spritzing with oil.
- Once cooked, transfer your bites to a paper towel-lined plate, let cool slightly, and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
