Fried potato balls

Ingredients for 5 servings

Ingredients · Servings 5
  • 750 g potatoes (boiled in their skins)
  • 2 eggs
  • grated nutmeg
  • salt
  • 200 g grated cheese
  • 40-50 g plain flour
  • fat for frying (lard, rapeseed oil)
Method · 35 min
  1. Peel the potatoes and grate them finely. Grate the hard cheese finely too.
  2. Add all other ingredients to the cheese and potatoes and make a dough.
  3. Heat a frying pan with fat.
  4. Using 2 teaspoons, form small balls (dumplings) from the dough and fry them in hot fat. They will puff up as they fry.
  5. Remove the finished balls from the fat and place them on a plate with a paper towel to absorb excess fat.
  6. Serve the balls as a side dish to quick meals or just as a quick, warm and tasty snack. (Half the dough makes enough balls for 2-3 people.)
