🧀 Creamy Fried Bombs (Cheese & Potato Style)
📝 Ingredients (makes ~12–15 bombs)
Filling
2 medium potatoes (boiled & mashed smooth)
½ cup shredded mozzarella (or any melty cheese)
2 tbsp cream cheese (for extra creaminess)
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp butter
Salt & black pepper (to taste)
Optional: chili flakes / herbs
Coating
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 egg (beaten)
1 cup breadcrumbs (panko = extra crunch)
Oil for frying
👩🍳 How to Make
Sauté flavor base
Melt butter in a pan. Add onion + garlic, cook till soft and fragrant.
Mix the creamy filling
In a bowl, combine mashed potatoes, sautéed onion/garlic, mozzarella, cream cheese, salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes.
Chill 15 minutes (makes shaping easier).
Shape the bombs
Scoop small portions and roll into balls. If you want extra gooey centers, press a cube of cheese inside each ball.
Bread them
Roll each ball in flour → dip in egg → coat with breadcrumbs.
For ultra-crispy: repeat egg + breadcrumbs once more.
Fry to golden perfection
Heat oil on medium. Fry 2–3 minutes, turning gently, until deep golden brown.
Drain on paper towels.
🔥 Pro Tips
Don’t overcrowd the pan – keeps them crispy.
Freeze 10 minutes before frying = less bursting.
Air fryer option: 180°C (350°F) for 8–10 min, spray lightly with oil.

If you tell me what you meant by creamy (cheese? chocolate? custard?), I can also drop a dessert version like Nutella cream bombs 😏
