Calling all cheese lovers! For melty, gooey goodness, there’s nothing better than a well-made cheese corn ball. But there’s no reason you have to go to a restaurant to enjoy this tasty starter. Today, we’re going to show you a very easy way to make cheese corn balls that taste like they came from a restaurant.
This recipe is all about getting the right mix of textures. Grated cheese, sweet corn kernels, and a little mashed potato will be mixed together to make a smooth, tasty base. A thin layer of breadcrumbs makes sure that the outside is satisfyingly crispy.
Ready to get rolling? Here’s what you’ll need:
Cheese corn balls ingredients:
- 1 medium boiled potato, mashed
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed and drained
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese (plus extra for coating)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying (or cooking spray for baking)
Cheese corn ball recipe:
1. Mash the potatoes, add the corn, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, and cilantro, if you want, to a big bowl. Add pepper and salt.
2. Add the flour and mix well until everything is just mixed. It should be just slightly sticky, but hard enough to roll into balls.
3. Make little balls out of the dough that are about an inch across. Coat each ball well with panko breadcrumbs after rolling it in the beaten egg.
4. In a big pan, heat the oil over medium-low heat. For a baked version, you can also heat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
5. For frying: To fry, add the cheese corn balls one at a time and fry them for about two to three minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Put paper towels down to dry.
6. For baking: To bake the cheese corn balls, put them on a baking sheet that has parchment paper on it. Place in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until crisp and golden brown.
Coating is the key to making cheese corn balls that look like they came from a restaurant. When you use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs, the taste is lighter and airier. You can also try using different kinds of cheese to change the taste. You could use Gruyere, mozzarella, or a mix of the two.
Warm up your fresh cheese corn balls and serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, like ranch, marinara, or even a spicy chili sauce. Have fun!
