Combine cheeses: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded Gouda and mozzarella cheeses. Mix them well to ensure they are evenly distributed.

Prepare the dough: Add the 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, the beaten egg, and salt to the cheese mixture. Using your hands, knead the ingredients together until a cohesive, slightly sticky dough forms. If the dough seems too wet, gradually add a little more flour, one teaspoon at a time, until it's manageable but still soft.

Form the balls: Lightly flour your hands. Take about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture and roll it into a small ball, approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Repeat with the remaining mixture. If desired, you can lightly dredge the balls in a bit of extra flour for a slightly crispier coating, but this is optional.

Chill the balls: Arrange the formed cheese balls on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This chilling step is crucial to help the balls hold their shape during frying.

Heat the oil: In a deep pot or Dutch oven, heat about 3-4 cups of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). If you don't have a thermometer, a small piece of dough dropped into the oil should sizzle immediately and float to the surface.

- âFor an extra crispy exterior, consider rolling the cheese balls in panko breadcrumbs or cracker meal after forming them, before chilling.

- âEnsure the oil is at the correct temperature (350°F / 175°C). If it's too cool, the bolitas will absorb too much oil and become greasy; if it's too hot, they'll brown too quickly on the outside before the cheese inside melts.

- Different Cheeses: Experiment with other semi-hard cheeses like cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend, but avoid pre-shredded cheese as it can contain anti-caking agents that affect melting.
