Potato, such a handy food, has been discovered along with a new land and has turned into a basic component of our diet.
One of the delicious recipes that we can make with this tuber is “Potato balls filled with cheese”, a recipe that will delight everyone.
We recommend you make small size balls in order for them to cook better in the pan. Besides, do not throw away potato leftovers as you can use them to make a delicious mash potato. It is a recipe that must be made beforehand as the potatoes must be left to chill in the fridge. Here is the video of the recipe:
