If I had to pick one vegetable to eat for the rest of my life it would be potatoes. I’m genuinely happy with a simple baked potato with sour cream and chives. But, the potato is such a versatile vegetable. Here is a very simple, super easy to make 4 ingredient potato nuggets recipe that will have even potato haters asking for more! These potato nuggets only require four ingredients, most of which you probably already have at home, The outside of these nuggets are so crispy and the inside is soft and fluffy. You won’t be able to stop snacking on these. Bonus – this is a vegan friendly recipe!
Pair this with ketchup or my favourite sauce mix of Japanese mayo, Sriracha and ketchup for a tangy spicy sauce!
TIPS:
– The smaller the ball, the faster the cook time!
– If you flatten them slightly there will be more crispy surface area.
– Don’t over mix the potato and cornstarch mixture or your final product won’t be fluffy and light.
You can make these as simple or as cute as you want design wise. For the fastest method I’d make these into ball shapes and flatten slightly (about 5 grams per ball). But you can also make the using cute cookie cutters like I did. Here is a set similar to the one I used with much deeper grooves so the Sakura pattern is more obvious.
