Ingredients
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 1 cup Ham
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 2 Scallions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and dice the potatoes. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring it to a boil. Cook the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Step 2
Drain the potatoes and mash them in a large bowl until smooth. Let them cool slightly.
Step 3
Dice the ham into small cubes if not pre-diced. Add the ham, shredded cheddar cheese, eggs, all-purpose flour, milk, chopped scallions, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes.
Step 4
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until they form a cohesive dough-like mixture.
Step 5
Form small balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter, from the mixture and set them aside on a tray.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Step 7
Fry the potato puffs in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each batch for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 8
Remove the puffs with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the ham potato puffs warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a dollop of sour cream.
