Crispy Croccanti with Potatoes – An Irresistible Snack
If you’re looking for a snack that’s crispy, golden, and utterly delicious, Crispy Croccanti with Potatoes is the perfect choice. These bite-sized potato treats are easy to make, versatile, and perfect for parties, movie nights, or as a savory indulgence.
Ingredients (Serves 4)
4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled
2 tablespoons cornstarch or potato starch
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika (optional for color and flavor)
1 teaspoon dried herbs (oregano, thyme, or rosemary)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil (or your preferred frying oil)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and wash the potatoes.
Grate the potatoes using the large holes of a grater.
Place the grated potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10–15 minutes. This removes excess starch and helps achieve crispiness.
2. Drain and Dry
Drain the potatoes and use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out as much water as possible.
Transfer the dry grated potatoes to a mixing bowl.
3. Season the Potatoes
Add the cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, dried herbs, salt, and pepper to the grated potatoes.
Mix well to coat the potatoes evenly.
4. Shape the Croccanti
Take a small handful of the potato mixture and form it into flat, bite-sized patties or small, irregular clusters for extra crunch.
Place the shaped croccanti on a plate or tray.
5. Cook the Croccanti
