How do I make sure my potato balls are extra crispy?

For extra crispy Chipotle Potato Balls, ensure they are thoroughly coated in breadcrumbs and consider spraying them with oil before baking for 20-30 minutes at 350 degreesF.

Can I pan-fry these Chipotle Potato Balls instead of baking?

Yes, the recipe explicitly states that you can alternatively pan-fry the potato balls until they are crispy and golden brown.

What kind of potatoes are best for this recipe?

The recipe specifically calls for 7 medium Yukon potatoes, peeled and diced, which are ideal for mashing smoothly to create the ball base.

How can I adjust the spiciness of these potato balls?

The recipe uses 3 tablespoons of vegan chipotle sauce for its signature flavor and heat. You can adjust this amount to your preference for more or less spice.

Can I prepare these Chipotle Potato Balls ahead of time?

You can prepare the Chipotle Potato Balls up to the breadcrumb coating step and refrigerate them before baking, or bake them and store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

How to Prepare Chipotle Potato Balls [Vegan]

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add in the potatoes and cook them until soft. Then drain the water, place them into a large bowl and mash together until smooth.
Add in the butter, chipotle sauce, parsley, paprika powder and salt and pepper, and combine everything with a spatula. Add in the flour and mix again.
Take a Tbsp of potato dough at a time, roll into a ball with your hands and form a small whole in the middle. Fill in vegan cheese, bring up the sides and shape into a ball again. Repeat until the dough is gone.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Roll each potato ball in breadcrumbs until covered, then place them onto the baking tray (at this point you can spray them with oil to make them extra crispy)
Place in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, until crispy. Alternatively you can pan-fry them.
Let cool down a little and enjoy!
