Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine potato starch, cornmeal, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Add Water

    Gradually add water to the dry mixture while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Mix until you achieve a thick batter.

  3. 3

    Add Flavoring Ingredients

    Finely chop the dried seaweed and add it to the batter along with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and sugar. Stir until evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Rest the Batter

    Let the batter rest for about 15 minutes. This will help the flavors meld together.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Heat Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 6

    Form Chips

    Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop small portions of the batter into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.

  3. 7

    Fry Until Golden

    Fry the chips for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to turn them halfway through cooking.

  4. 8

    Drain Excess Oil

    Once the chips are done, remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

  5. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the chips to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade Maui Style PopCorners!
