It sounds like you’re referring to a dish called “creamy fried bombs,” which could be an appetizing, crispy snack or appetizer! If you’re looking to make these, here’s a general idea of how to prepare creamy fried bombs:
Ingredients:
- For the filling:
- 1 cup of mashed potatoes (a great base)
- ½ cup cream cheese (or sour cream for a tangy flavor)
- ½ cup grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella works well)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: finely chopped herbs (like parsley) or spices (paprika, garlic powder)
- For the coating:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crispiness)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the filling:
- In a bowl, combine mashed potatoes, cream cheese, grated cheese, salt, pepper, and any herbs or spices you like.
- Mix everything until smooth and creamy. You want the consistency to be firm enough to shape into balls but not too dry.
- Shape the bombs:
- Take small portions of the creamy mixture and roll them into balls (about 1-2 inches in diameter).
- Coat the bombs:
- Roll each ball first in flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. Make sure the balls are evenly coated.
- Fry:
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot (you can test it by dropping a small breadcrumb in – it should sizzle immediately), carefully place the bombs into the oil.
- Fry them until golden brown and crispy on all sides (around 3-4 minutes).
- Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
- Serve:
- Let them cool slightly before serving. You can dip them in a spicy sauce, ranch, or ketchup.
These creamy fried bombs are rich, cheesy, and crispy on the outside. Perfect for a snack or party appetizer!
