Chewy Garlic Seasoned Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients
Potato Dough:
- 440g potatoes (weight with peel)
- 200g potato starch
- 150ml water
Seasoning:
- 14g (0.7 Tbsp) chopped garlic
- 4g (1 Tbsp) chili powder
- 3g (1 tsp) sugar
- 32g (4 Tbsp) soy sauce
- 9g (1 Tbsp) chopped green onion
- 24g (3 Tbsp) avocado oil (can be substituted with cooking oil)
Instructions:
- Mash the Potatoes: Peel and chop the potatoes, then microwave them for 7 minutes (adjust based on your microwave’s wattage) until cooked through. Mash them finely.
- Make the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, potato starch, and water gradually, mixing well after each addition until you achieve a soft, non-cracking dough.
- Shape the Mushrooms: Dust your workspace with potato starch and roll out the dough into a thin sheet. Using a round cookie cutter or glass, stamp out circles. Press a bottle cap or similar round object into the center of each circle to create a mushroom shape.
- Boil the Mushrooms: Bring a pot of water to a boil and gently drop in the potato mushrooms. Boil for 2 minutes and 30 seconds, watching them plump up. Drain and rinse them in cold water.
- Make the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the chopped garlic, chili powder, sugar, soy sauce, green onion, and avocado oil.
- Coat and Marinate: Toss the cooled mushrooms in the sauce, ensuring they’re well coated. Let them marinate for a while, or dive in right away!
- Pan-Fry: Heat a pan with a little oil and pan-fry the mushrooms until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Tips
- Get creative with the seasoning! Experiment with different herbs and spices like rosemary, paprika, or curry powder.
