Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 egg
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (or green onions)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible.
- Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, minced garlic, chopped parsley, flour, cornstarch, and the egg. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated and form a thick, cohesive mixture.
- Shape the squares: On a clean surface, flatten the potato mixture into a thin, even layer (about 1/4 inch thick). Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut the flattened mixture into small squares.
- Fry the squares: Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the potato squares in batches. Fry them until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the squares with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve: Transfer the crispy potato squares to a serving plate and sprinkle with a little extra salt or your favorite seasoning if desired. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce or enjoy them on their own.
