Are you looking for a quick, delicious, and crispy side dish or snack? These herb-infused fried potato squares are the perfect solution! This easy-to-follow recipe will guide you to create golden, flavorful bites that everyone will love.
4 large potatoes
2 cups of freshly chopped parsley
1 tablespoon of chicken bouillon powder or mashed green onions
1 teaspoon of salt (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
Directions
Step 1: Preparing the Potatoes
1. Wash, peel, and grate the potatoes using a coarse grater.
2. Squeeze out any excess water from the grated potatoes using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. This ensures a crispier texture when frying.
Step 2: Mixing the Ingredients
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped parsley, chicken bouillon powder (or green onions), cornstarch, salt, and black pepper.
2. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed and well combined.
Step 3: Shaping the Potato Squares
1. Spread the potato mixture onto a flat surface or a large plate, pressing it down to create a layer about 1/4-inch thick.
2. Cut the flattened mixture into small squares, approximately 1 inch on each side, for easy frying.
Step 4: Frying the Potato Squares
1. Heat oil in a skillet or deep fry pan to 350°F (175°C).
2. Fry the potato squares in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook each batch for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
3. Once fried, transfer the squares onto a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 5: Serving the Crispy Squares
Serve the warm, crispy potato squares as a side dish, an appetizer, or a snack. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
Enjoy your delicious herb-infused fried potato squares—perfect for any occasion!
