What you need:
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 potatoes [mine were a little large, so I eyeballed proportions]
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 to 1 tsp. oregano
- 1 to 2 tsp. cumin
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. chili powder
- 1/4 tsp. ground coriander
- Italian seasoned bread crumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
Directions:
- Peel potatoes and cut into quarters. Boil until fork tender.
- Place in ice bath to cool, drain, and mash.
- Meanwhile, preheat deep fryer to 350* using vegetable oil.
- Mix in cheese and seasonings.
- Roll into egg shaped rounds and roll in bread crumbs.
- Place 4 to 5 rounds in fryer and fry until golden brown. I personally like to let anything I fry sit for a minute or two and put them back in for a final fry of a minute for extra crispiness!
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce - they are great with ketchup and buffalo sauce :)
