Cheesy Potato and Tuna Balls

This dish is a marriage between this and this. The kids love croquettes and they love this new dish the most, especially the girl because she refused to eat her rice. All she wanted was these balls. And she had four of them!

I did a batch without the cheese inside because my son didn't like cheese 'cooked' and he will simply refuse to eat the food with cheese in it. Yap, he doesn't eat pizza as well. Anyway, those without cheese taste just as good.

Ingredients (A):

• 3 medium Potatoes, cooked and mashed
• 1 small Onion, diced
• 1 canned Tuna, drained
• 1 tablespoon Coriander or Spring Onion, chopped finely
• 1 Egg, beaten
• Salt to taste
• a dash of Pepper

Ingredients (B):

• Cheese of your choice, I used Laughing Cow Party Cubes
• All purpose flour for dusting
• 1 Egg, beaten
• Breadcrumbs
• Oil for frying

How to do it:

1. Put all ingredients (A) together in a bowl.
2. Mix till well combined.
3. Take some mixture and flatten in your palm.
4. Put a piece of cheese in the middle.
5. Cover the cheese by working the mixture over it and rolling it in to a ball shape.
6. Dust with flour shaking excess.
7. Dip into egg.
8. Coat with breadcrumbs.
9. Deep fry till golden brown.
10. Drain and serve immediately.

Note:

• Adding coriander or spring onions is optional. It's to add colour and for coriander, colour and smell.
• You can fold sliced cheese (singles) into cube and use that too.
