# Ingredients:
→ Potato Mix
01 -
2 big potatoes, skinned and diced
02 -
1 tsp garlic powder
03 -
1 tsp onion powder
04 -
1 tsp paprika
05 -
Salt and pepper, as needed
06 -
4 tbsp cornstarch (add more if needed)
07 -
Oil spray for cooking
→ Garlic Butter
08 -
100 g butter
09 -
2 tsp garlic powder
10 -
Handful fresh parsley, chopped fine
# Instructions:
01 -
Cut and peel your potatoes into cubes then boil them until soft enough for a fork to go through. Drain them well.
02 -
Dump your soft potatoes in a bowl and add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mash everything until it's smooth. Mix in cornstarch until you get a thick, sturdy dough. You might need extra cornstarch to get it right.
03 -
Take the potato mix and roll it into balls that are all about the same size. Put them in your air-fryer basket with some room between each one. Give them a light spray of cooking oil.
04 -
Set your air fryer to 200°C and cook for 15-20 minutes until they turn golden and crunchy. Shake the basket now and then so they brown evenly.
05 -
While your potato balls cook, throw butter, garlic powder, and chopped parsley in a bowl that's safe for the microwave. Heat it in 30-second bursts, giving it a stir each time, until it's all melted.
06 -
Put your crispy potato balls in a serving bowl. Pour your melted garlic butter on top and gently toss them around until they're all coated.
07 -
Eat them right away while they're hot, and pour any leftover garlic butter on top for the best taste.
# Notes:
01 -
Let your potato mix cool all the way before making balls if you want them extra crunchy.
02 -
Adding cornstarch helps everything stick together and makes the outside nice and crispy.
