Frequently Asked Questions

Why do my cheese balls burst while frying?

The cheese escapes through cracks. Seal each ball completely around the cheese, coat it well in slurry and breadcrumbs, and fry on medium heat. Chilling the balls for 15 minutes before frying also helps.

Can I make potato cheese balls ahead of time?

Yes. Shape and coat them, then keep them in the fridge for a few hours or freeze them. Fry straight from the fridge when you are ready to serve.
