Preparation
- Prepare the Potatoes: Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are completely tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain and allow them to cool slightly.
- Once cool enough to handle, mash the potatoes smoothly. Mix in the butter, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Prepare the Filling: In a skillet, cook the sausage meat over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon until it is fully cooked and crumbly. Drain any excess grease.
- Mix the cooked sausage with grated cheese. This mixture will be used as the filling for the potato balls.
- Form the Potato Balls: Take a portion of the mashed potatoes and flatten it in your hand. Place a small amount of the sausage and cheese mixture in the center.
- Carefully wrap the potato around the filling, forming a ball. Ensure the filling is completely enclosed.
- Coat the Potato Balls: Dip each potato ball first into the beaten eggs, then roll them in breadcrumbs until fully coated. This will give them a nice crispy exterior once fried.
- Fry the Potato Balls: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a deep skillet to 175°C (350°F).
- Fry the potato balls in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the potato balls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
