I made a large batch of potato cheese balls for my family. As a reward for the labor I did, I decided to make a very big potato cheese ball just for me. But I remembered that the potato cheese balls must not be too big so that there would be even heat throughout the ball. This had me stretching the potato cheese ball into a potato cheese roll.

And with my current knowledge on potato cheese rolls, I now put these rolls in a skewers so I can hold them easily and eat them literally anywhere I want!
