Ingredients
  • 3 Potatoes
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • ½ tbsp Garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp Flour
  • ½ tsp Paprika
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)
  • Parsley (chopped)
  • 3 tbsp Cornstarch
  • Oil (for frying)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Wash, peel, and cut the potatoes into large chunks. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  2. 2
    Drain the potatoes thoroughly and allow them to cool slightly so excess steam can escape. Mash the potatoes until completely smooth with no lumps remaining.
  3. 3
    In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. 4
    Add the flour and stir continuously for 1–2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. Gradually pour in ½ cup water while whisking continuously until a smooth, thick mixture forms.
  5. 5
    Transfer the garlic mixture to the mashed potatoes. Add the parsley, paprika, salt, pepper, and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be soft but easy to handle. If it feels sticky, add a little more cornstarch as needed.
  6. 6
    Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper or on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to approximately ½-inch thickness.
  7. 7
    Using a large round cookie cutter or glass, cut out circles. Then use a smaller cutter to remove the center of each circle, creating ring shapes. Gather the scraps, reroll, and repeat until all the dough has been used.
  8. 8
    Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat. Test the oil by dropping in a small piece of dough—it should sizzle immediately and float to the surface.
  9. 9
    Carefully place the potato rings into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  10. 10
    Fry for several minutes, turning occasionally, until the rings are evenly golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  11. 11
    Transfer the fried potato rings to a paper towel-lined plate or wire rack to drain excess oil.
  12. 12
    Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce while hot and crispy.
Note

• Allow the potatoes to cool slightly before mashing to help remove excess moisture.
• Mash the potatoes thoroughly to create a smooth dough and prevent cracks while shaping.
• If the dough feels sticky, add a little more cornstarch until it's easy to handle.
• Chill the dough for 15–20 minutes if it becomes too soft while shaping.
• Maintain a consistent oil temperature for even browning and maximum crispiness.
• Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding and lowering the oil temperature.
• For extra flavor, add grated parmesan or additional herbs to the dough.
