Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into chunks. Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 2

Drain the cooked potatoes and mash them in a large bowl until smooth. Let them cool slightly.

Step 3

To the mashed potatoes, add flour, cornstarch, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well to form a dough-like consistency.

Step 4

Scoop small portions of the potato mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into nugget shapes using your hands.

Step 5

In a small bowl, beat the egg. Place the breadcrumbs in a separate bowl.

Step 6

Dip each nugget into the beaten egg, then coat it thoroughly in breadcrumbs. Repeat until all nuggets are coated.

Step 7

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the nuggets to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 8

Fry the nuggets for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, ranch, or honey mustard.
