Ingredients:
2 large potatoes (peeled and cubed)
1 tsp garlic granules
1 tsp onion granules
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper (to taste)
4 tbsp cornflour (add more as needed)
Cooking oil spray
Garlic Butter:
100 g butter
2 tsp garlic granules
Fresh parsley (a handful, chopped)
Directions:
Step 1
Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and cube 2 large potatoes, then boil them until fork-tender. Drain the cooked potatoes.
Step 2
Seasoning and Mashing: In a bowl, place the boiled potatoes and season them with garlic granules, onion granules, paprika, salt, and pepper (to taste). Mash the seasoned potatoes until smooth. Add 4 tablespoons of cornflour and mix until a thick, firm dough forms. Adjust flour quantity for desired consistency.
Step 3
Creating Potato Balls: Roll the mashed potato mixture into balls and place them in the air-fryer basket. Lightly spray the balls with cooking oil.
Step 4
Air-Frying: Air-fry the potato balls at 200°C for 15-20 minutes until they turn golden and crispy. Shake the basket regularly for even cooking.
Step 5
Preparing Garlic Butter: While the potato pops cook, make garlic butter by combining 100g of butter, garlic granules, and chopped fresh parsley in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the mixture in the microwave in 30-second intervals until fully melted.
Step 6
Finishing: Once the potato pops are golden and crispy, transfer them to a bowl. Pour the melted garlic butter over the potato pops and toss them gently until coated.
Step 7
Serving: Serve the Garlic Potato Pops immediately, pouring any remaining garlic butter over them for added flavour.
