Potato Balls with Melted Cheese

Potato balls with melted cheese and herbs are a hearty snack made from ready mashed potatoes, baked in the oven rather than fried. Coated in breadcrumbs, they turn out crispy outside and gooey inside. Ready in 40 minutes, I recommend them - enjoy!

• 500 g mashed potatoes ready-made

4. Place the balls on a baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes at 190-200°C - and they're done!
   

Tips

• The mashed potatoes need to be firm and cool, otherwise the balls won't hold their shape.
• Mozzarella works great instead of processed cheese - it stretches beautifully.
