What Is a Cheese Ball?

Cheese balls are deep-fried cheesy balls. They are similar to European recipes, which include meat with vegetables, seafood, and cheese, bound together with dough made of wheat and potato, then deep-fried.

I make cheese balls with potato and cheese. I love cheese, so I try any item with cheese. I love cooking and experimenting with different dishes. My family members love cheese, and my children love cheese, so I always try different items for them. One day, I made cheese balls with sauces and served them to my family members, and they were so happy.

I often make cheese balls for family gatherings, evening snacks, or my kids’ school lunchboxes.

Cheese balls are a very healthy, cheesy, and creamy snack. They are made with a delicious cheesy filling mixed with mashed potatoes, Italian herbs, and breadcrumbs, and then deep-fried to perfection.

Cheese balls are a tasty food that both kids and adults love. I make cheese balls in a short amount of time using boiled, mashed potatoes, grated cheese, green and red bell peppers, chopped green chivies or chilli flakes, gram Marsala, black pepper, salt, coriander leaves, rice flour, all-purpose flour, and cornstarch. I mix them well, shape them into small balls, fry them, and serve the hot cheese balls with sauces and salad.

Why I Love Cheese Balls

I love cheese balls because they are delicious, healthy, and tasty. They can be made quickly with only a few ingredients. Just two ingredients, cheese and potatoes, are enough to make cheese balls. The cheesy, meaty centre combined with mashed potatoes makes it a quick snack option. That’s why I love cheese balls.

My children love cheese, so I make fried cheese balls, and they enjoy eating them. Cheese balls are easy to make and can be ready in no time.

It’s easy to make cheese balls—just mix mashed potatoes with spices, grated cheese, shape them into small balls, and fry them.

If you want, use mild cheese or grated cheese. Mozzarella or cheddar cheese is the best for cheese balls. Use soft cheese for the best texture. Avoid hard cheese, as soft cheese will make the texture much nicer after frying.

Serve the fried cheese balls with some salad, tomato ketchup, and yogurt, and enjoy!

Cheese balls are my favourite recipe.

Ingredients for Cheese Ball Recipe

1. Potatoes: Of course, you need potatoes. I use medium-sized russet potatoes, about 3 of them. You can use other types of potatoes if you want.
2. Cheese: Cheese is the main ingredient for cheese balls. I use 1 cup of grated mozzarella cheese. You can also use other types of cheese or cheese cubes cut into tiny pieces and use them in the centre of the balls.
3. Mixed Vegetables: Potatoes are the main vegetable, but I also add 2 tablespoons of red and green bell peppers, 1 tablespoon of chopped coriander leaves, and 1/4 teaspoon of chopped green chillies. The colourful vegetables make the cheese balls flavour and visually appealing.
4. Garlic: 1 teaspoon of chopped garlic for added flavour.
5. Salt and Black Pepper: Use salt and black pepper to taste. Add a small amount of salt since the cheese is already salty, and use Italian seasoning for extra flavour.
6. Corn Flour and Rice Flour: I use rice flour and corn flour for binding and to make the cheese balls extra crispy.
7. Breadcrumbs: Breadcrumbs are used to coat the cheese balls.
8. Oil: For frying.

How to Make Cheese Balls

Making cheese balls is very easy. Just follow my instructions:

1. First, take a large bowl and boil the potatoes until they are tender. Let the boiled potatoes cool, then peel and mash them well, making sure there are no lumps.
2. Once the potatoes are mashed, add the colourful vegetables, salt, black pepper, Italian herbs, chopped green chillies, chopped garlic, coriander leaves, and grated cheese. Mix well with your hands until all the ingredients are combined.
3. Shape the mixture into small balls. You can make the cheese balls small or large, using a measuring scoop or ice cream scoop for uniform size.
4. In a medium bowl, mix rice flour and corn flour with water and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth, without lumps.
5. In another bowl, add breadcrumbs and some extra seasoning like chilli flakes and oregano for flavour. Coat the cheese balls with the breadcrumbs, making sure all the balls are well coated. Then, dip them in the rice and corn flour mixture, and coat them again with breadcrumbs for double crumbing to make them extra crispy.
6. Heat oil in a large pan. When the oil is hot, fry the cheese balls until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the cheese balls and place them on paper towels to soak up any extra oil.
7. Finally, the cheese balls are ready to eat! Serve them hot with tomato ketchup, sour yogurt, and some salad.

Tips and Tricks for Cheese Balls

1. I love mozzarella cheese, but you can use other cheeses like cheddar. Both cheddar and mozzarella taste great, but I recommend mozzarella for the best results.
2. You can use other types of potatoes, but russet potatoes are the best.
3. Double-coating the cheese balls with breadcrumbs makes them extra crispy and delicious.
4. You can store the prepared cheese balls in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 days. After frying, you can coat them again with breadcrumbs for a crispier texture.
5. You can use other mixed vegetables of your choice, but colourful vegetables enhance the flavour.
6. I recommend serving the cheese balls hot with sauces for the best taste.
