Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Fry the Cheese Curds
Once the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of the cheese curd mixture into the oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
