Recipe

On Halloween night, kids gather by the oven waiting for cheesy potato balls. The Geedel Vegetable Chopper dices pumpkin and bacon in just 10 minutes—no hand-chopping needed. Crispy outside, soft and cheesy inside, these "ghost balls" with olive eyes make kids cheer: "It's like little ghosts melting in my mouth!" A warm, fun snack perfect for making together.

Ingredients  

300g starchy potatoes  

150g Kabocha squash (peeled and deseeded)  

3 slices bacon  

80g shredded mozzarella cheese  

50g breadcrumbs  

1 egg (beaten)  

¼ tsp salt  

A pinch of black pepper  

6 black olives (thinly sliced, for eyes)  

1 tsp chopped parsley (for garnish)  

10g melted butter (for brushing)  

Instructions  

1. Dice the Pumpkin: Even Cooking Made Easy  

Cut the pumpkin into 3cm-wide strips and place in the Geedel Vegetable Chopper using vegetable chopper mode (medium blade). With the non-slip base secured, press twice to create uniform 1cm cubes—evenly sized for cooking through at the same time as the potatoes, while keeping a slightly textured feel for natural pumpkin flavor. Steam the pumpkin and peeled potato chunks together over medium heat for 20 minutes, until easily pierced with a fork.

2. Chop the Bacon: Savory & Crispy  

Cut bacon into 1cm-wide strips and place in the Geedel manual food chopper (coarse blade). Press slowly twice for perfectly sized bacon bits—faster than hand-chopping, with just the right crispiness when baked. Drain excess oil with a paper towel.

3. Mix & Shape: Fun for Little Hands  

Let the steamed potatoes and pumpkin cool for 5 minutes, then mash roughly with a fork (keeping some texture). Add bacon bits, 40g mozzarella, salt, and pepper. Mix into a soft, workable dough (thanks to the evenly diced pumpkin, it's not too sticky—easy for kids to handle).  

Divide the dough into 12 portions and roll into 3cm balls ("ghost bodies"). Coat each in beaten egg and breadcrumbs, place on a parchment-lined tray, brush with melted butter, add an olive slice for "eyes," and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

4. Bake & Decorate: Halloween Magic  

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 15–18 minutes, until golden and bubbly. Garnish with parsley and let cool for 2 minutes. These golden "ghost balls" with cheesy tops and olive eyes will delight kids—each bite reveals a stretchy, savory center where pumpkin sweetness meets bacon's smoky saltiness.

Conclusion 

The Geedel Vegetable Chopper delivers even pumpkin cubes and crispy bacon without mashing, while its non-slip base ensures safety and easy cleanup. More than a tool—it's your Halloween warmth helper. Ready in 10 minutes, it lets families shape, decorate, and share not just a snack, but cozy memories full of laughter.
