Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small chunks.

Step 2

Place the diced potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until soft, about 10-12 minutes.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and mash them until smooth. Allow them to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, grated Parmesan cheese, all-purpose flour, egg, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a firm dough-like consistency forms.

Step 5

Gently fold in the mozzarella cheese cubes to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 6

Shape the potato mixture into small, 1-inch cubes.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep saucepan or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 8

Carefully fry the potato cubes in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides. This should take about 3-4 minutes per batch.

Step 9

Remove the cubes with a slotted spoon and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 10

Serve the Mama Mia Cubes hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or aioli. Enjoy!
