Description
Soft, fluffy potato centers bathed in bold garlic and pepper seasonings, cloaked in a golden crust that crackles with each bite, begging for a dip in ketchup or spicy chili sauce.
Ingredients
- 500 g potato
- 50 g all purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 100 g breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 250 ml vegetable oil
Instructions
- Peel and grate potatoes into a large bowl.
- Wrap grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
- Crack egg into a small bowl and beat lightly.
- Return potatoes to the large bowl and add beaten egg, flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder; mix until a dough forms.
- Shape mixture into nugget-sized pieces and coat evenly with breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat and fry nuggets in batches until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
- Remove and drain on paper towels before serving.
Notes
- For a baked version, place nuggets on a baking sheet and bake at 200°C for 15 minutes.
- Soaking grated potatoes in cold water before squeezing helps maintain color and texture.
- Serve with dipping sauces like ketchup, mayonnaise, or sweet chili sauce.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
