Description

Crispy potato bites with a creamy interior, perfect for a quick snack or meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 lbs golden potatoes
  • 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 3 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prep your potatoes: Start by peeling and chopping the golden potatoes into bite-sized cubes.
  2. Boil the potatoes: In a large pot, add your chopped potatoes and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  3. Drain and cool: Once cooked, drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
  4. Create the coating: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Mix well.
  5. Coat the potatoes: Gently toss the boiled potatoes in the flour mixture until evenly coated.
  6. Heat the oil: In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
  7. Fry the potato bites: Working in batches, carefully add the coated potatoes to the hot oil and fry for 4-6 minutes until golden and crispy.
  8. Drain excess oil: Remove the potato bites with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate.
  9. Serve and enjoy: Serve warm with your favorite dips or sauces.
