Description

Crispy Cheesy Potato Bites are the perfect savory snack for game night or any casual gathering. These golden, crunchy bites combine shredded potatoes with a blend of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses, bound together with egg and flour for a deliciously cheesy and crispy treat. Garnished with fresh chives, they are easy to make and sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale

Potato Mixture

  • 4 cups shredded potatoes (freshly grated and dried well)
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Cheese Blend

  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

Binding Agent

  • 1 large egg (beaten)

Garnish

  • 1/4 cup chopped chives

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Grate the potatoes and squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. This step is crucial to ensure the bites turn out crispy.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the dried shredded potatoes, shredded cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, flour, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and holds together.
  3. Form Bites: Using your hands or a spoon, shape the mixture into small bite-sized balls or patties, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and set aside on a lined tray.
  4. Cook Bites: Heat a lightly greased skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Place the potato bites in the pan, cooking them in batches if needed. Fry each side for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. If preferred, flip gently to maintain their shape.
  5. Drain and Serve: Remove the cooked bites from the pan and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Garnish with chopped fresh chives for a burst of color and flavor.
  6. Enjoy Warm: Serve the crispy cheesy potato bites immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, perfect for game night or snacking anytime.

Notes

  • Make sure the shredded potatoes are dried thoroughly to avoid sogginess.
  • You can substitute the cheeses with any blend of your choice for variation.
  • The bites are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in an oven to restore crispiness.
  • Optional: add spices like garlic powder or paprika for extra flavor.
