Some of the most comforting food comes from the simplest of ingredients, in this case, the potato. With the right seasonings, ingredients and preparation, we can transform something simple into something that is irresistable. The ball itself is made from mashed potatoes that has been seasoned and stuffed with minced beef. It is then lightly battered with egg and deep fried to a crispy golden perfection.
Kentang ball is also served with a sweet and spicy gravy. This gravy has a base of various spices. dark soy sauce and aromatics. Bakso (Meatballs) are sometimes served together as well. It is then topped with crispy fried shallots and refreshing cucumber.
As the Kentang Ball is broken apart while eating, the potato would blend into the gravy and would turn the light and dark broth into a hearty and savoury stew. Simple in appearance yet layered in flavour and texture, Kentang Ball finds the perfect balance between comfort, sweetness, spice and savoury satisfaction.
