Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Place the potato balls in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the potatoes are just melted, about 4 minutes.

    Let cool, then lightly knead with your hands. Stir in the egg and flour. Using damp hands, form the mixture into 12 4-centimeter balls.

    Make a well in the center of each ball and stuff it with a cube of mozzarella; re-form the balls around the cubes of cheese.
  2. In a large saucepan, heat a 3-inch (7.5 cm) layer of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 180°C (350°F).

    In a bowl, mix the bread crumbs with 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Roll the balls in batches in the bread crumbs and fry until golden brown, about 8 minutes.

    Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried arancini balls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil; season with salt. Serve the arancini balls with marinara sauce.
