Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local grocery stores or supermarkets. Provolone is widely available in the cheese aisle. If necessary, a firm, low-moisture mozzarella or a semi-hard aged cheese can be used as a substitute, although the distinct sharp flavor of the original provolone is recommended.

- Knead well with your hands until the mixture forms a smooth, homogeneous dough.
- Shape the dough into small, uniform balls.
- Heat enough oil in a deep pot to fry the fritters.
- Carefully place the provolone balls into the hot oil.
- Fry until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess fat.
- Serve hot.
