Potato Bombs: The Quick Recipe for a Delicious Lunch in No Time | March 12, 2025

Think you’ve had potatoes in all their forms? Think again! These potato bombs are a delicious way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. The dough is made with mashed potatoes, semolina, cheese, and eggs. Once shaped into disks, they’re topped with ham and cheese and fried until golden and crispy. It’s easy to customize the recipe based on the ingredients you have on hand, so be sure to check out our tasty recommendations below! They make a great appetizer or snack and can be served with a dip of your choice. Simple to make and oh-so-flavorful, they’re perfect for a quick snack!

Advice:

For extra soft potato bombs, mash the potatoes with a potato masher. Don’t use a food processor, as this will overprocess them and make them sticky. Alternatively, you can grate the cooked potatoes using the large holes of a box grater.
Don’t overheat the oil, or the potato bombs will brown too quickly before the cheese melts. Use a thermometer to heat the oil to about 350°F. Don’t crowd the pan, or the oil may cool too quickly.
