Description
Crispy bite‑sized potato snacks, flavored and perfect for dipping
Ingredients
- 500 g potatoes, peeled and cut into bite‑size cubes
- 2 tbsp cornstarch (or all‑purpose flour)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
- Oil for frying (or for brushing, if baking)
Instructions
- Boil or par‑cook the potato cubes until just tender (not falling apart). Drain and let cool.
- In a bowl, toss the potato cubes with cornstarch (or flour), garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until coated.
- Heat oil in a frying pan (or preheat oven to 220 °C / 430 °F if baking).
- If frying: fry the potato bites in batches until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- If baking: place coated bites on a baking sheet, brush or spray lightly with oil, bake ~20–25 min, turning once, until crisp.
- After cooking, sprinkle with parsley (if using) and serve hot with your favorite dip.
Notes
- You can use sweet potato instead of regular potato.
- To make them lighter, bake instead of frying.
- Add spices (cumin, chili powder, herbs) to vary the flavor.
- Ensure potatoes are dry before coating to get crispiness.
