Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes

Pressure cook the potatoes for 2-3 whistles. Allow the pressure to release naturally, then drain the potatoes thoroughly and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

Combine Ingredients

Add the cornflour, all-purpose flour, breadcrumbs, salt, and optional black pepper to the bowl with the potatoes.

Mash and Mix

Mash the potatoes slightly with a fork or potato masher, then mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Beat the egg and stir it into the mixture.

Shape the Potato Fingers

Take a small amount of the potato mixture (about 1-2 tablespoons), roll it into a sausage shape between your palms, and set aside. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

Fry the Potato Fingers

Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Carefully add the potato fingers in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Serve

Remove the fried potato fingers with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve warm, as is, or with your favorite dipping sauce.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Potato Fingers

For extra crispy potato fingers, you can double bread them by dipping the shaped fingers in beaten egg, then coating them in breadcrumbs a second time.
If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can boil the potatoes until tender. This will take approximately 15-20 minutes.
Don't overcrowd the pan when frying. This will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy potato fingers.
Experiment with different herbs and spices for variations. A sprinkle of garlic powder or dried herbs would add a nice flavor boost.
