- Take a small portion of the potato mixture and flatten it in your palm.
- Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center and seal the mixture around it to form a ball.
- Dip each ball into the beaten egg, then coat evenly with breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat.

Notes
- You can use cheddar or processed cheese instead of mozzarella.
