Ingredients:
- 350g potatoes, peeled
- 150g carrot, peeled
- 20g green onions, finely chopped
- 1/5 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 3 tbsp wheat flour
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- Boil the potatoes and carrot in a pot of water until they are soft and fully cooked. Drain them well and allow them to cool slightly.
- Mash and Mix:
- In a large bowl, mash the boiled potatoes and carrot together until smooth. Stir in the finely chopped green onions, black pepper, and salt, mixing until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Add Binders:
- Crack the eggs into the mixture and add the cornstarch and wheat flour. Mix everything together until you have a cohesive mixture that can be shaped into balls. If the mixture feels too sticky, you can add a little more flour to adjust the consistency.
- Form the Poppers:
- With clean hands, shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a walnut. This is your chance to make them as uniform as possible for even cooking.
- Fry the Poppers:
- Heat a good amount of oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Carefully add the potato poppers to the hot oil and fry them for about 8 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Serving:
- Once fried, use a slotted spoon to remove the poppers from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve your Crispy Veggie Potato Poppers hot, with your favorite dipping sauce or as they are, and enjoy!
These poppers are a delightful way to enjoy a mix of vegetables in a bite-sized, flavorful form. The outside is crispy, while the inside remains soft and savory, making them irresistible. Perfect for parties, gatherings, or as a treat for yourself!
