Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the Russet potatoes into chunks. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.

  2. 2

    Make the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped chives, flour, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Puffs

    Using your hands, form small balls or puffs from the potato mixture, about the size of a golf ball.

  4. 4

    Fry the Potato Puffs

    Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Carefully add the potato puffs in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Make the Chili Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the hot potato puffs with the chili aioli on the side for dipping.
