- Prepare the potatoes: Peel and grate 250g of potatoes. Rinse with cold water and squeeze out all excess moisture using a clean towel.

- Shape and cook: Form the mixture into small patties or bite-sized balls. Fry in hot oil over medium heat until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Make cheese sauce: In a saucepan, melt 20g butter. Stir in 1/2 tbsp wheat flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in 150ml milk until smooth. Add 70g cheddar cheese and 1/2 tbsp spicy sauce. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is creamy.
- Serve: Dip the crispy bites in warm cheese sauce or drizzle it over them.
