Potato Cheese Meatless Bitterballen

I always buy potatoes in supermarket where it always comes in big bags
As a result, I always have leftover
This is one snack you should try if you feel like indulging in something savoury
This Dutch inspired snack is pretty addictive. This is a modified version by using potato. I made before using bread as one of the ingredient and it's real good. The original version only uses plain flour - I shall try also :)

Method:

1. Heat butter and add in flour. Mix til lumpy
2. Gradually add in milk, stir continuously til smooth. Remove from heat

4. Shape into balls - size according to preference, mine was about 3cm diameter
5. Roll balls into breadcrumbs, dip into beaten egg, and roll again into breadcrumbs til well coated
6. Deep fry in a wok with hot oil til evenly golden brown
7. Drain and after about 10 minutes, transfer to a plate lined with kitchen towel
