Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and cube the potatoes. Boil them in a pot of salted water for about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooled potatoes using a masher or fork until smooth.
Step 3
Add to the mashed potatoes: gluten-free flour, eggs, chopped chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
Step 5
Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Roll each potato ball in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Step 6
In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat to approximately 350°F (175°C). You can test the heat by dropping a breadcrumb into the oil; it should sizzle and start to turn golden.
Step 7
Carefully place a few potato balls into the hot oil without overcrowding the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Step 8
Remove the potato balls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat with the remaining potato balls until all are cooked.
Step 10
Serve the crispy potato balls warm, garnished with extra chives or your favorite dipping sauce.
