Use a slotted spoon to lower the balls into the oil (I do 4 or so at a time) and fry them for 2-3 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Use your slotted spoon to gently and continually move them around so they fry evenly. You might spot little dots of leakage, which is fine, but if one of them looks like it&#039;s about to split open, just remove it. Place the cooked balls on a wire rack above paper towels to catch excess oil.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-31188-step-0-7\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5px\"><span>Finish with parmesan and parsley then tuck in and enjoy!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"recipe-video\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"wprm-recipe-video-container-31188\" class=\"wprm-recipe-video-container\">\n<h3 class=\"wprm-recipe-header wprm-recipe-video-header wprm-block-text-bold wprm-align-left wprm-header-decoration-none\">Video<\/h3>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-video\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fried Mashed Potato Balls\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ckzaElAJziQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"recipe-31188-notes\" class=\"wprm-recipe-notes-container wprm-block-text-normal\">\n<h3 class=\"wprm-recipe-header wprm-recipe-notes-header wprm-block-text-bold wprm-align-left wprm-header-decoration-none\">Notes<\/h3>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-notes\"><span><strong>a) Potatoes<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0 I recommend using something like a Maris Piper or Russet because they&#8217;re nice and floury.

You might find the centre isn&#8217;t properly melted right after the balls have fried, but just let them rest for a few mins and the residual heat will melt the centre. You don&#8217;t have to add a cube of cheese in the centre; they&#8217;re still delicious without.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>d) Air Fryer option<\/strong> &#8211; I have tried these in the air fryer and they do work pretty well. You&#8217;ll need to toast the Panko in a tbsp of butter in a pan until golden first, just to give the breading a head start. From there, I recommend cooking at 190C\/375F for around 8 minutes, or until golden and crisp (keep an eye on them as timings will differ).<\/span><\/p>\n<div
