Who would have thought that a simple potato could be transformed into an irresistible dish that will have your neighbors knocking on your door for the recipe? This crispy potato delight is more than just a snack; it’s an experience.
Ingredients:
- 3 potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 glasses of water
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- A bunch of coriander and parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
- 1.5 cups semolina
- Salt to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prep the potatoes: Boil the diced potatoes in salted water until tender but not mushy. Drain and let them cool completely.
- Create the flavor base: In a bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, onion, garlic, chopped herbs, and chili flakes (if using). Mix well to distribute the flavors evenly.
- Coat in semolina: Add the semolina to the potato mixture and stir until all the potato pieces are evenly coated.
- Fry to perfection: Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan. Carefully drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, ensuring they don’t overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Drain and serve: Remove the crispy potato delights from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips for the Perfect Crispy Potato Delight:
- For extra crunch, let the potatoes cool completely before coating them in semolina.
- The oil temperature should be around 180°C (350°F) for optimal results.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices to create your unique flavor profile.
- Serve with a variety of dipping sauces, such as sour cream, chili sauce, or mayonnaise.
