This ensures the potatoes cook evenly and quickly.\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cook the Potatoes<\/strong><br>Place the sliced potatoes into a pot and pour 600 ml of water over them. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium heat. Let the potatoes cook for about 15 minutes, or until they\u2019re soft and tender.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Season and Mash the Potatoes<\/strong><br>Once the potatoes are fully cooked, drain them and transfer them into a large bowl. Add 1\/4 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of black pepper to taste. Mash the potatoes thoroughly until smooth and lump-free.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add Cornstarch and Butter<\/strong><br>Add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the mashed potatoes and mix well until it\u2019s fully incorporated. Next, pour in 1 tablespoon of melted butter (20 g) and stir again. For an extra firm texture, add another tablespoon of cornstarch and mix until the mixture becomes thick and pliable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shape the Potato Balls<\/strong><br>Grease the bottom of a colander with vegetable oil to prevent sticking, and lightly oil your hands. Roll the mashed potato mixture into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). After forming the balls, press each one gently with your palm to flatten them slightly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Create a Pattern on the Potatoes<\/strong><br>To give your potato bites a decorative finish, press the flat side of each potato ball against the base of a sieve or colander to create a textured pattern. Repeat this with all the remaining potato balls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baking Method<\/strong><br>Preheat your oven to 220\u00b0C (425\u00b0F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the potato bites on the baking sheet. Beat 1 chicken egg and brush the tops of each potato bite with the egg wash for a beautiful golden finish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bake the Potato Bites<\/strong><br>Bake the potato bites for 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the edges. While they are still hot, brush them with salted butter for extra flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Frying Method (Optional)<\/strong><br>If you prefer a crispier, fried version, heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Carefully place the potato bites into the hot oil and fry them for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Once fried, transfer the potato bites to a paper towel to drain excess oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Serve<\/strong><br>Whether baked or fried, these potato bites are best served hot. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or a spicy aioli, for an irresistible snack.<a href=\"https:\/\/notycheese.com\/grandmas-vanilla-pudding-cake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nutrition Facts (Approximate per serving of 4 bites):<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Calories:<\/strong>\u00a0180 kcal (baked) \/ 220 kcal (fried)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fat:<\/strong>\u00a07 g (baked) \/ 11 g (fried)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Carbohydrates:<\/strong>\u00a028 g\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Protein:<\/strong>\u00a04 g<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fiber:<\/strong>\u00a02 g<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cholesterol:<\/strong>\u00a035 mg<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sodium:<\/strong>\u00a0200 mg<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients: Steps to Make Crispy Baked and Fried Potato Bites: Nutrition Facts (Approximate per serving of 4 bites):<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5959,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5958","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5958","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5958"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5958\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5961,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5958\/revisions\/5961"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5959"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5958"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5958"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5958"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
