Crispy Potato Shots focus on the essentials, delivering a crispy exterior that encases fluffy potato goodness. Without the added chili glaze, these bites let the natural flavors of potatoes shine through, making them an ideal canvas for various dipping sauces.
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and boiled
- 1/4 cup cornflour
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Cooking oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Grate the boiled potatoes using the fine side of a grater in a large mixing bowl.
- Add cornflour, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the grated potatoes. Mix well until a uniform dough-like consistency is achieved.
- Shape the mixture into small, round potato shots.
- Heat cooking oil in a pan or deep fryer to 350°F (180°C).
