- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil for frying
Instructions
- Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, bread crumbs, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined to create a uniform mixture.
- Form bites: Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into bite-sized balls, then flatten each slightly to prepare for frying.
- Heat oil: Heat cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat, ensuring the oil is hot enough for frying but not smoking.
- Fry bites: Fry the potato cheese bites in batches in the hot oil, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain excess oil: Remove the bites from the skillet and place them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil for a less greasy finish.
- Serve: Serve the crispy potato cheese bites hot and enjoy as a delicious snack or appetizer.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the grated potatoes before mixing to ensure crispier bites.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with any melting cheese of your preference.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
- Serve with sour cream, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor.
- For a gluten-free option, replace bread crumbs with gluten-free crumbs.
