Ingredients

    Crispy potato balls:
  • 1 kgfloury potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • salt
  • 2 tspcornflour
  • 150 gmozzarella, shredded
  • 60 gpepperoni, finely chopped and fried until crisp
  • 2 tbspfresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tspdried oregano
  • ground black pepper
  • neutral oil, for frying
  • hot honey, to taste
  • finely grated Parmesan

Crispy fried potato balls filled with mozzarella and pepperoni, tossed in sticky hot honey and showered with parmesan — crunchy outside, fluffy inside, outrageously addictive party food.

Method

  • Boil the potatoes in well-salted water until very tender. Drain well, let any excess steam evaporate, then mash until completely smooth. Season with salt.
  • Add the cornflour, mozzarella, crispy pepperoni, garlic, parsley, oregano and plenty of black pepper. Mix until fully combined.
  • Roll the mixture into 2cm balls — you should get around 40. Chill for 20 minutes to help the balls hold their shape (optional but recommended).
  • Heat the oil to 180°C and fry the balls in batches for 2–3 minutes, turning gently, until golden and crisp. Drain briefly.
  • While hot, toss the balls in hot honey and finish with finely grated Parmesan. Enjoy immediately.
