Freeze potato balls: Once the balls have formed, you can freeze them before frying. This will allow you to prepare them in advance and fry them when you need them, which is handy for special occasions or last-minute appetizers.

Accompanying sauces: In addition to your favorite sauce, you can try different sauces such as yoghurt and mint sauce, barbecue sauce, aioli sauce or hot sauce to accompany your bubble pillows and add an explosion of flavor.
