Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare the ingredients. The potatoes don't need to be very big. Small cheese balls taste better. Butter can increase the milky aroma. If it is not available, you can replace it with corn oil, but the taste will not be as good.

   

2. 2 Peel and slice the potatoes, put them into a pot and steam them over high heat until they are easily pierced with chopsticks. The thinner the potatoes, the faster they will cook.

   

3. 3 Remove heads from fresh shrimps, remove shrimp intestines, remove shells, pour in soy sauce and marinate for 10 minutes.

   

4. 4 Drain the water from the mashed potatoes and pour them into a blender while they are still hot. Add salt, light cream, butter, and black pepper, and turn on the blender button to blend into a puree.

   

5. 5 Make whipped mashed potatoes and test for saltiness. The state should not be too soft, otherwise it will not take shape. If it feels soft, add an appropriate amount of potato starch and knead it until it can be formed. Then mix the mashed potatoes well and let it cool down. Take out a small dumpling, roll it into a ball, and press it into a flat shape.

   

6. 6 Add an appropriate amount of cheese and shrimp. Note here that the amount of cheese should not be too much, otherwise the stuffing will easily explode during frying after wrapping.

   

7. 7 Wrap the cheese and shrimp with your hands, shape into a round shape, and place on a plate. Apply a little oil to the bottom of the plate to prevent sticking.

   

8. 8 Beat the eggs, then dip the mashed potato balls in the egg liquid, and then dip them in the golden bread crumbs. The more evenly dipped the balls, the better-looking the finished product will be.

   

9. 9 Then place the mashed potatoes on the frying plate of the empty frying cup, four at a time, and cover with a glass cover.

   

10. 10 Just turn on the air frying mode at 200 degrees for 20 minutes. The same goes for the oven. If you don't have an air fryer or an oven, just use deep frying.

    

11. 11 The fried cheese shrimp balls are round and super cute. They are the most adorable. They also taste very good, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
