  In a large skillet or saucepan, heat 2 inches of oil to 350°F (use a candy or deep-fry thermometer to gauge temperature). Set a large plate topped with a few paper towels off to the side.

  Using a slotted spoon, lower a few cheese cubes at a time into the oil, making sure they stay separated while frying. Remove from oil using spoon after 1 minute or when the cubes are a golden brown and place on paper towels to drain. Let oil return to 350°F before making the next batch. Repeat until all cheese cubes are fried.
