Garlic Potato Bites

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Medium Potatoes boiled and mashed (approx. 300g)
  • ¼ cup Mozzarella Cheese grated (25g)
  • 1 clove Garlic finely chopped (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • 1 Large Egg beaten
  • ½ cup Breadcrumbs Panko or regular
  • ½ tbsp Cornstarch Corn Flour – essential for binding
  • Vegetable Oil for shallow frying
  • Salt & Black Pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, take the boiled, mashed potatoes. Add the grated mozzarella, chopped garlic, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly with a spoon or your hands until it forms a smooth, moldable dough.
  2. Take small portions of the potato mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls or cylinders (nuggets). Press them firmly so they hold their shape.
  3. Dip each nugget into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated. Then roll it immediately in the breadcrumbs until it's evenly coated on all sides.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the nuggets in the pan (do not overcrowd them).
  5. Fry for about 2–3 minutes per side, turning gently, until they are golden brown and crispy all over.
  6. Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve hot immediately for the best cheese pull.
