Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large potatoes
- 100 g butter
- 4 tablespoons cornflour
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic granules
- 1 teaspoon onion granules
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Additional Ingredients:
- Cooking oil spray
- 2 teaspoons garlic granules
- Fresh parsley (a handful, chopped)
Instructions
- Cleanse and transform potatoes by meticulously peeling and dicing into uniform cubes. Submerge in boiling water, cooking until tender enough to pierce effortlessly with a fork. Thoroughly drain excess moisture.
- Transfer cooked potatoes into a spacious mixing vessel. Infuse with aromatic garlic granules, onion granules, vibrant paprika, and season generously with salt and pepper. Vigorously mash until achieving a silky, uniform texture. Integrate cornflour gradually, kneading until the mixture transforms into a compact, malleable dough.
- Craft potato mixture into perfectly rounded spheres, ensuring consistent size and smooth exterior. Strategically arrange these globes within the air-fryer basket, maintaining slight separation. Delicately mist with cooking spray to encourage golden crispiness.
- Position air-fryer at 200C, allowing potato spheres to roast for 15-20 minutes. Intermittently agitate the basket, promoting even caramelization and preventing potential sticking.
- Simultaneously prepare luxurious garlic butter by combining butter, garlic granules, and freshly chopped parsley in a microwave-compatible container. Gently liquefy through brief, controlled heating intervals.
- Once potato pops achieve a radiant, crisp exterior, transfer to a serving receptacle. Cascade melted garlic butter atop, gently tumbling to ensure comprehensive, elegant coating.
- Present immediately, drizzling any remaining aromatic butter for an additional flavor enhancement.
Notes
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for a creamier, smoother texture that holds together better when forming potato balls.
- Use cold mashed potatoes for easier handling and firmer shape during rolling, preventing sticky and crumbly mixture.
- Experiment with alternative flour options like gluten-free flour or almond flour for those with dietary restrictions.
- Enhance flavor by adding grated parmesan cheese or finely chopped chives into the potato mixture for extra depth and complexity.
