30-minute crispy vegetarian fried balls made with baked beans, mashed potato, and cheese.
Ingredients:
  • 300g can baked beans in tomato sauce
  • 500.00 ml mashed potato
  • 80g (2/3 cup) pre-grated pizza cheese
  • 75g (1 1/2 cup) panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg, whisked
  • Light olive oil, to deep-fry
  • Tomato relish, to serve
  • Baby spinach, to serve (optional)
Instructions:
  • Transfer the baked beans to a bowl and blend them coarsely with a stick blender. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Combine the potato, cheese, and 20g (1/2 cup) breadcrumbs in a bowl. Season generously with salt and mix thoroughly using a metal spoon. Shape 2 tablespoons of the mixture into a ball and place it on the prepared tray. Continue until you have 12 balls in total.
  • In a shallow bowl, place the egg. Spread the remaining breadcrumbs on a plate. Dip each potato ball in the egg, letting the excess drip off. Roll in breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to coat evenly, then place back on the tray. Repeat for the rest of the potato balls.
  • Heat up a deep frying pan or large saucepan with oil, ensuring it's around 7cm deep. Once hot, add half of the balls and fry until golden brown for 3-4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to place them on a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat the process with the rest of the balls.
  • Place the baked bean balls elegantly on a platter. Serve the tomato relish in a small dish. Optionally, sprinkle baby spinach over the dish.
