How to Fry Potato Balls With Ground Beef Filling
- 1). Place 1/8 cup cold mashed potatoes in your hand and form it into a patty. Create a small indent in the center of the patty for the beef filling.
- 2). Spoon 1 tbsp. of seasoned, cooked ground beef into the indentation on the potato patty. The cooked, ground beef should also be chilled.
- 3). Scoop another 1/8 cup cold mashed potatoes into your hand to form another patty and place it on top of the beef filled patty. Use your hands to mold the patties into a single ball and set aside.
- 4). Form as many potato balls you wish. Heat 3 tbsp. of cooking oil in a 12-inch skillet on medium-high heat. Place the potato balls in the hot pan and cook for 3 minutes before turning over with a fork.
- 5). Brown all sides of the potato balls before transferring them to a large plate lined with paper towels.
- 6). Sprinkle the hot potato balls with salt and pepper before serving.
