Thaw potato balls for 30 minutes prior to cooking. Fill a medium-size sauce pan halfway with your favorite cooking oil. Preheat oil to 350°F. Fry potato balls for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oil and place on plate with paper towels for 2 minutes to allow heat to settle. Do not overfill pan, and do not fry more than 3-4 potato balls at a time.
Minimum internal temperature should reach 165°F.
