Here is the recipe for cheese balls ( makes about 60):

    Ingredients: 1lb chicken breast in small pieces
                       1lb potatoes boiled slowly
                       1 heaped teaspoon minced fresh green chilli from a jar
                       1 heaped teaspoon crushed garlic
                       1 level teaspoon of salt and pepper each
                       6oz mature grated cheddar
                       2 dessert spoons of cornflower
                       1 small can of sweetcorn drained

Cook the chicken, chilli and garlic on low without oil or water, Then shred it a little with your fingers.
Cook the potatoes whole on a low heat, then peel and mash and leave to go cool.
Thicken two desert spoons of cornflour in a pan with some milk and the salt and pepper.
Mix the chicken, a small can sweet corn, the mashed potato, and the grated cheddar. Mix in enough cornflour sauce to make it all stick together. The  amount of sauce you will need depends on how much water the potatoes absorbed.
Roll the cooled mixture in to balls the size of large marbles then dip the balls in to beaten egg and then roll in breadcrumbs. Repeat the dipping and rolling process once more to keep the mixture in when you cook them.
Then you can cook them instantly or straight from the freezer.

  2. Thanks for that! We're vegetarian but might give it a go without the chicken (possibly without the chilli too because my kids are terrified of it)

    1. Jar green chilli isn't spicy at all. It will just adds the flavour without all the spice. Also you could try using quorn chicken, tell us how it goes if you try it!!
