Here’s a simple recipe for Crispy Potato Bites:
Ingredients:
– 2 large potatoes, peeled and grated
– 1 onion, grated
– 1 egg
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
– Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, combine grated potatoes, onion, egg, flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
2. Divide the mixture into small portions and shape into bite-sized balls.
3. Roll each ball in panko breadcrumbs to coat.
4. Heat about 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
5. When oil is hot, add potato bites in batches and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
6. Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
7. Serve hot and enjoy!
Optional: You can also bake the potato bites in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
Tips:
– Use high-starch potatoes like Russet or Idaho for the best results.
– Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying, as this can lower the oil temperature and result in greasy potato bites.
– Experiment with different seasonings, like paprika or chili powder, to add extra flavor.
