Cheesy potato balls are easy party snacks and appetizers. These are easy to make and quick appetizers. These potato balls are crispy outside and soft and gooey inside.
Cheesy Potato Balls
These are so soft that they will just melt in your mouth giving a burst of flavors. Oregano seasoning or Italian seasoning makes it more tasty and flavorful. You can also replace oregano with any other seasonings of your choice.
It's easy to prepare and takes less than 30 minutes for the whole process. For better binding of the balls, you need to boil the potatoes in well advance and cool them completely before mixing other ingredients and flour. Otherwise, it will be sticky and won't bind properly.
Here I have taken red and yellow bell peppers. You can add other veggies like green beans, grated carrots, beans, or any other finely chopped vegetables to make vegetable bites.
