Ingredients
- 4 Potatoes medium, boiled, peeled, and mashed.
- 1.5 tbsp Garlic finely minced.
- 1 tbsp Red Chili Flakes adjust for spice.
- 3 tbsp Rice Flour acts as a binder and crisping agent.
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp Oregano Dried, for the "Pizza" flavor profile.
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs Fine, for coating
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Mash the boiled potatoes thoroughly in a large bowl until smooth and lump-free.
- In a small pan, sauté the minced garlic and chili flakes in 1 tsp of oil for 30 seconds to release their aroma, then add this to the mashed potatoes.
- Add the rice flour, cornstarch, salt, and dried oregano to the potato mixture.
- Knead the mixture gently to form a soft, non-sticky dough.
- Lightly grease your palms and roll the dough into small, uniform cylinders (about 1 inch long).
- Roll each potato cylinder in breadcrumbs, pressing gently so the crumbs coat the surface evenly.
- Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed wok on medium-high heat.
- Carefully slide the shots into the oil and deep fry for 3–4 minutes, turning frequently until they are a deep golden brown.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to keep them crispy.
Recipe Notes
- For the best results, chill the shaped shots in the freezer for 15 minutes before frying to ensure they don't break and stay extra crunchy!
