Garlic Potato Pops (Print Version)

Ingredients:

01 - 2 large potatoes (peeled and cubed).
02 - 1 tsp garlic granules.
03 - 1 tsp onion granules.
04 - 1 tsp paprika.
05 - Salt and pepper (to taste).
06 - 4 tbsp cornflour (add more as needed).
07 - Cooking oil spray.
08 - 100 g butter.
09 - 2 tsp garlic granules.
10 - Fresh parsley (a handful, chopped).

Instructions:

01 - Peel and cube 2 large potatoes, then boil them until fork-tender. Drain the cooked potatoes.
02 - In a bowl, place the boiled potatoes and season them with garlic granules, onion granules, paprika, salt, and pepper (to taste). Mash the seasoned potatoes until smooth. Add 4 tablespoons of cornflour and mix until a thick, firm dough forms. Adjust flour quantity for desired consistency.
03 - Roll the mashed potato mixture into balls and place them in the air-fryer basket. Lightly spray the balls with cooking oil.
04 - Air-fry the potato balls at 200°C for 15-20 minutes until they turn golden and crispy. Shake the basket regularly for even cooking.
05 - While the potato pops cook, make garlic butter by combining 100g of butter, garlic granules, and chopped fresh parsley in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the mixture in the microwave in 30-second intervals until fully melted.
06 - Once the potato pops are golden and crispy, transfer them to a bowl. Pour the melted garlic butter over the potato pops and toss them gently until coated.
07 - Serve the Garlic Potato Pops immediately, pouring any remaining garlic butter over them for added flavour.

Notes:

01 - These Garlic Potato Pops are the perfect appetizer or side dish, combining crispy, golden potato balls with a rich garlic butter coating.
