Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Frying Pan or Air Fryer
- Wire Rack
Ingredients
Potato Dough
- 2 cups mashed potatoes smooth and cooled
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 tsp salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper to taste
Coating
- 1 cup breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes for extra crunch
- 1 oil for deep frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes, flour, beaten egg, salt, and pepper until a smooth dough forms.
- Roll the dough into a thin sheet and cut out rings using two round cutters (one large and one small).
- Chill the potato rings in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Heat oil in a frying pan to 350°F (175°C). Coat each ring in breadcrumbs.
- Fry the rings in small batches for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy. Drain on a wire rack.
- Serve hot with your favorite dips like ketchup, garlic aioli, or spicy mayo.
Notes
For a healthier option, bake the rings at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes or air-fry at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
