Garlic Potato Pops (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Potato Base

01 - 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
02 - 1 tsp garlic granules
03 - 1 tsp onion granules
04 - 1 tsp paprika
05 - Salt and pepper, to taste
06 - 4 tbsp cornflour (more as needed)
07 - Cooking oil spray

→ Garlic Butter

08 - 100 g butter
09 - 2 tsp garlic granules
10 - Fresh parsley, handful, finely chopped

# Instructions:

01 - Peel and cube the potatoes, then boil until fork-tender. Drain thoroughly.
02 - Place the boiled potatoes in a bowl and season with garlic granules, onion granules, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth. Add cornflour and mix until a thick, firm dough forms. Add more cornflour if needed for proper consistency.
03 - Roll the mashed potato mixture into uniformly sized balls. Place them in the air-fryer basket with space between each. Lightly spray with cooking oil.
04 - Cook at 200°C for 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy. Shake the basket periodically for even browning.
05 - While the potato pops cook, combine butter, garlic granules, and chopped parsley in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely liquid.
06 - Transfer the crispy potato pops to a serving bowl. Pour the melted garlic butter over them and gently toss until evenly coated.
07 - Serve immediately while hot, drizzling any remaining garlic butter over the top for maximum flavor.

# Notes:

01 - For extra crispy pops, let the potato mixture cool completely before rolling into balls.
02 - The cornflour helps bind the mixture and creates a crispy exterior.
