Cheese balls

This recipe is very suitable for using up leftovers. You can still use leftover cheese that has hardened - but you should put it in water and soak it a little before using it to make the cheese balls, at least that's what my old Icelandic cookbook tells you.


Ingredients

700 g potatoes
350 g cheese
100 g eggs
Salt
pepper

Oil for the pan


Preparation

Boil the potatoes, then peel and chop the softly cooked potatoes.

Grate the cheese.

Then put the ingredients together with the eggs and spices in a large bowl...

...and work everything into a nice, smooth dough.

Then form small balls out of the mixture.

Heat some oil in a pan and then fry the cheese balls until golden brown on all sides.

The cheese balls can be served warm or cold with a hearty meal, or as a side dish with meat dishes.
