FAQ:
Q: Can I bake instead of frying?
A: Yes, you can bake the potato bites at 200°C (400°F) for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until they are golden and crispy.
Q: What type of cheese works best?
A: A melting cheese like mozzarella, cheddar, or gouda works beautifully for both the potato mixture and the sauce.
Q: Can I make them ahead of time?
A: Absolutely. Shape and chill the potato bites ahead of time, then fry them fresh when ready to serve.
Q: Can I freeze the potato bites?
A: Yes. Freeze them before frying for best results. Fry directly from frozen, adjusting the cooking time slightly.
