Ingredients
For the Potato Bites:
- 3 potatoes
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Black pepper to taste
- 100 grams cornstarch (3.5 oz)
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Olive oil for frying
- Salt to taste
For the Herb Yogurt Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- A bunch of fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Rinse and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato pieces with paprika, black pepper, and salt. Add the cornstarch and toss until the potatoes are well-coated.
- Fry the Potatoes: Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the potato pieces in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Prepare the Sauce: While the potatoes are frying, make the herb yogurt sauce by combining Greek yogurt, chopped dill, soy sauce, and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.
- Serve: Arrange the crispy potato bites on a serving platter and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Serve with the herb yogurt sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika to the potatoes for different flavor profiles.
- For a lighter version, use less oil or opt for baking the potatoes instead of frying them.
- You can customize the yogurt sauce with lemon juice or swap the dill for fresh basil or cilantro.
