    Potato and cheese is a winning combination. Air fryer mashed potato balls is a yummy delight with cheese melting in your mouth. When served hot and at made at a perfect texture, everything is right with the world in one bite. You can never go wrong with this when you have kids at home. Everyone loves potatoes and cheese. No wonder most restaurants serve fries, pizzas, garlic bread and pastas for everyone.

    This appetiser reminds me of Italian arancini balls which are a wonderful starter. Here is an air fried mashed potato ball recipe which is relatively lower in calories. Although, it does have cheese, it is not fried.

    There are other recipes that you can make with potato in the airfryer such as air fryer Potato skins , air fryer Potato chips , air fryer smashed potatoes or air fryer potato cheese balls. You may also use the air fryer to cook frozen snacks such as pizza pockets,spring rolls,frozen pizza,frozen samosa or reheat leftover fries and leftover pizza in the airfryer.

    air fryer leftover mashed potatoes along with cheese give a good competition to any frozen potato balls or market based cheese filled potato bites.
