Introduce the recipe and ingredients for potato balls.

Prepare a breading station with flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, adding salt and pepper to each.

Whisk the eggs and mix the flour and breadcrumbs separately.

Take a handful of mashed potatoes and form it into a rough ball shape, weighing about 90 grams for consistency.

Dip the potato ball in flour, then in egg, using one hand to keep the other clean.

Coat the ball with breadcrumbs using the other hand, ensuring an even coating.

For a variation, mix in spring onions with the mashed potatoes before shaping them into balls.

Repeat the dipping process for a double coating of breadcrumbs for extra crispiness.

Add cheese to the warm potato mixture and mix until melted before shaping into balls.

Heat cooking oil in a deep pot until bubbling, indicating it's hot enough for frying.

Carefully place the potato balls into the hot oil, moving them around to cook evenly.

Fry until golden brown, then remove and drain on kitchen roll.

Cut open a fried potato ball to show the inside and discuss the texture and flavor.

Show different variations of potato balls, including plain and those with cheese and spring onions.
