Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, these seasoned potato nuggets are made by combining boiled potatoes with soaked bread and spices, shaped with a fork, and pan-fried to golden perfection.
method
- 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place in a pot of salted water and boil until fork-tender, then drain thoroughly.
- 2
Dip the slices of bread into a bowl of water, then firmly squeeze out all excess moisture with your hands. Chop the dampened bread into small pieces.
- 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the boiled potatoes, chopped bread, salt, garlic powder, chili flakes, paprika, aromatic seasoning, and black pepper. Mash and mix by hand until combined.
- 4
Add the cornstarch to the potato mixture and knead until a smooth, cohesive dough forms.
- 5
Transfer the dough to a flat surface and shape it into a rectangular log. Cut into equal-sized portion pieces.
- 6
Roll each piece into a ball, then press lightly with the tines of a fork to flatten and create a decorative ridge pattern.
- 7
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the potato nuggets in batches until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- 8
Remove from oil, drain on paper towels or a serving platter, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and serve hot.
