Directions
-
Peel and cut the potatoes into small pieces. Place them in a bowl, add salt, and mix well. Microwave for 6 minutes until tender.
-
Drain any excess water and mash the potatoes until smooth. Add flour, Parmesan cheese, and chili powder. Mix well to form a dough.
-
Divide the dough into equal portions. Flatten each portion and place a piece of mozzarella cheese in the center. Carefully shape it into a ball, ensuring the cheese is fully enclosed.
-
Heat oil in a pan over low heat. Add the potato balls and cook until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking. Lightly press with a spoon and continue frying until crisp and golden.
