Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 cups Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for dill cream)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (for dill cream)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small chunks. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 10-12 minutes until tender.

Step 2

Drain the potatoes well, then mash them in a mixing bowl until smooth. Allow them to cool slightly.

Step 3

Add the flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix until combined.

Step 4

Whisk the egg in a small bowl and gradually incorporate it into the potato mixture, creating a stiff dough.

Step 5

Form the potato mixture into small nugget shapes approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in size.

Step 6

Place the breadcrumbs on a plate. Roll each nugget in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat (about 350°F). Carefully fry the nuggets in batches, ensuring they don’t overcrowd the pan.

Step 8

Fry each batch for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 9

To make the dill cream, mix the sour cream, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Step 10

Serve the potato nuggets hot with the dill cream dipping sauce on the side.
