Potato is the most versatile of vegetables. It can be eaten just as it is (as many of our mums gave us in childhood), added to vegetarian dishes such as Potato Cashew Nut Roast, as a mash in Roasted Garlic and Rosemary Mashed Potatoes, made into a pickled dish such as the Achari Aloo and dry dishes like Til Wale Sookhe Aloo. Potato Cheese Balls uses this vegetable in a subtle way, mixing it with cheese for a Mediterranean flavor, while adding flavor and deliciousness to these small bites. They are superb as starters or evening snacks. Although cheese is a staple of Italian cuisine, it is increasingly being incorporated into Indian dishes. It adds a creamy salty texture to any food. Also, as kids love any dishes prepared with cheese, Potato Cheese Balls are liked by them as well. During monsoon or winter, when the climate is pretty cool, a quick bite of Potato Cheese Balls can literally cheer you up!
Potato Cheese Balls are best eaten with green Dhaniye Aur Amle Ki Chutney, or Tamarind Chutney. However, kids definitely like eating more with their all time favourite accompaniment called ketchup! Eat them as a starter or serve them for supper, it is a child’s play to make Potato Cheese Balls and you would love its recipe to the core! Following is a step-by-step guide for making these yummy, cheesy munchies:

The cheese balls tasted awesome, but when I dropped it in oil bread crumbs, it started to disintegrate though dough and was not that hard/loose. What could be the reason?

The amount of binding could be less. You can add some more breadcrumbs to bind the mixture.
