Today's special recipe for New year is cheesy, crispy and tasty "corn cheese balls", it's a perfect party appetizer recipe for coming new year party. It is delectable and mouthwatering that you cannot stop with one bite. These corn cheese balls are loaded with lots of flavors and burst cheese in mouth 😋. Combination of potato and sweet corn is one of my favorite and adding cheese to it is hmmm😋😋 no need to tell that feeling. I used cubed cheese, potatoes and sweet corn and  other spices. I added cheese in two ways to make it more cheesy.

 We had these cheesy balls with red and green chilli sauces, hubby loved these with mayonnaise. i love to have it without any sauces. I used corn flour as binding agent and bread crumbs to make it more crispy.
