  1. @Sima, I tried baking these fritters instead of frying and your guess is correct filling melts and burst the fritters. Then I used frozen cheese balls instead and fritters baked perfectly. So you can try baking these fritters with frozen cheese balls.
  2. Hi, I was wondering if its possible to bake the mashed potato mixture with cream cheese inside instead of frying it? Or will the cream cheese inside melt and ruin the whole thing? Thanks.
