Ingredients:
- 3 potatoes
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup flour
Instructions:
-
Prepare Potatoes:
- Begin by covering the potatoes with water in a large pot and cooking them until they’re tender.
-
Mash and Mix:
- Once tender, drain the potatoes and mash them together with the butter until smooth and creamy.
-
Season and Combine:
- To the mashed potatoes, add the salt, garlic powder, egg, and flour, mixing everything together until well combined and forming a dough-like consistency.
-
Shape the Puffs:
- Sprinkle a clean, flat surface with flour and transfer the potato mixture onto it. Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, approximately 1-1/2 inches in diameter.
-
Heat the Oil:
- In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil to 375°F (190°C) for frying the potato puffs.
-
Fry the Puffs:
- Carefully drop the potato balls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry them for 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown, ensuring they cook evenly on all sides. You may need to do this step in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
-
Keep Warm:
- Once fried to perfection, remove the potato puffs from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. If frying in batches, keep the cooked puffs warm in the oven while you finish frying the remaining batches.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve these crispy and flavorful Potato Puffs hot and enjoy them as a delicious snack or side dish for any occasion. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them on their own!
