Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 0.5 cup Chickpea flour
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small cubes. Place them in a large pot filled with salted water and bring to a boil.
Cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash the potatoes until smooth and let them cool slightly.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and set aside.
Add chickpea flour, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and the chopped parsley to the potatoes.
Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and form a cohesive dough-like mixture.
Using your hands, shape the potato mixture into small balls, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter.
In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Gently place a few potato balls in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the potato balls, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 4-6 minutes per batch.
Remove the fried potato balls with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining potato balls.
Serve the Dairy-Free Crispy Fried Potato Balls warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
