Cheesy Potato Snacks
Cheesy Potato Snacks
Ingredients
- 3 large potatoes
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 5 tablespoons wheat flour
- 300 grams grated cheese, alternatively, shredded chicken or ground beef can be used as a filling
- as needed oil, for greasing plastic wrap
- as needed oil, for frying
Instructions
- 1
Cook the 3 large potatoes until they are soft. This can be done by boiling them in water until tender.
⏱️ 15 min
- 2
Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly and carefully peel off their skins.
⏱️ 3 min
- 3
Mash the peeled potatoes thoroughly in a large bowl until they form a smooth puree with no lumps.
⏱️ 5 min
- 4
Add the 2 tablespoons of melted butter and 5 tablespoons of wheat flour to the mashed potatoes. Mix these ingredients together until they are well combined and form a soft, pliable dough.
⏱️ 5 min
- 5
On a clean work surface, such as a cutting board, lay out a piece of plastic wrap and lightly grease it with a little oil.
⏱️ 1 min
- 6
Take a portion of the potato dough (about the size of a golf ball or slightly larger), place it on the greased plastic wrap, and flatten it into a round shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
⏱️ 2 min
- 7
Place a generous amount of the 300 grams of grated cheese in the center of the flattened potato dough. If using, you can substitute with shredded chicken or ground beef as an alternative filling.
⏱️ 1 min
- 8
Carefully fold the potato dough over the cheese filling. Using the plastic wrap, gently press and seal the edges of the dough to enclose the filling completely, forming a rectangular or square-shaped patty. This technique helps prevent the dough from breaking.
⏱️ 2 min
- 9
Repeat steps 6-8 with the remaining potato dough and filling until all the dough and filling are used, creating more patties.
⏱️ 10 min
- 10
Heat a sufficient amount of oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat. The oil should be deep enough to partially submerge the patties.
⏱️ 3 min
- 11
Once the oil is hot (you can test by dropping a small piece of dough; it should sizzle), carefully place the potato patties into the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd it. Fry in batches if necessary.
⏱️ 2 min
- 12
Fry each patty for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until it turns golden brown and crispy on both sides.
⏱️ 10 min
- 13
Remove the fried patties from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
⏱️ 1 min

Serve the cheesy potato snacks warm and enjoy!
