Carefully seal the dough around the filling, shaping it into a ball. Ensure there are no cracks in the dough to prevent the filling from escaping during frying. Repeat this process until all the dough and filling are used.

Prepare three separate bowls: one with 1/2 cup flour, one with 1 large beaten egg, and one with 1 cup bread crumbs. Take each potato cheese ball and first coat it completely in flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip the flour-coated ball into the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully covered. Finally, coat the egg-dipped ball generously with bread crumbs. Repeat for all the prepared balls.

Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of dough; it should sizzle immediately. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated potato cheese balls into the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Fry the cheese balls, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes per batch. Remove the fried cheese balls from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
