Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and grate the Russet potatoes. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible to ensure crispiness later.
- Mix and Season: In a bowl, combine the grated potatoes with salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and all-purpose flour. Beat the eggs lightly, then fold them into the potato mixture until well blended.
- Form the Bites: Using your hands or a small spoon, shape the mixture into small rectangular ‘bricks’ about bite-sized, keeping them consistent in size for even cooking.
- Fry to Crispy Perfection: Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Carefully add the Tater Brick Bites without overcrowding the pan. Fry each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels after frying.
- Serve Warm: Serve immediately while hot and crunchy, optionally paired with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or spicy aioli.
Notes
- Dry grated potatoes thoroughly to prevent sogginess and achieve a crisp exterior.
- Maintain oil temperature around 350°F (175°C) for even cooking without burning.
- Do not overcrowd the frying pan; cook in batches to allow bites to crisp properly.
- Shape bites evenly for uniform cooking and texture.
- Drain fried bites on paper towels or wire rack to remove excess oil for a lighter result.
