BAKED POTATO POPPERS

These crispy potato puffs unabashedly copy, but far surpass, the commercial brand found in the frozen section of your supermarket. Baked rather than deep-fried, they are perfectly crispy on the outside and meltingly soft on the inside. They will fool even the most die-hard tater tot fiend. You can't stop eating them. Panko bread crumbs are essential to the dish's success, providing the crispiest crunch. Excerpted from "Mad Hungry Cravings" by Lucinda Scala Quinn, Artisan Books, March 2013.

Yield Makes 24 poppers

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large russet (baking) potatoes (about 1 pound)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Ketchup

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees, with a rack in the middle position. Put a rimmed baking sheet in the oven to preheat. Peel and grate the potatoes, and transfer to a large bowl. Cover with boiling water by two inches. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes in a colander and rinse thoroughly with cold water. Squeeze the potatoes to remove excess moisture, and transfer back to the large bowl. Add the flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and egg yolk and fold into the potatoes.
  • Spread the panko on another rimmed baking sheet. With wet hands, pinch off tablespoons of the potato mixture, form into balls, and coat with the panko crumbs.
  • Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and coat with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Quickly transfer the poppers to the baking sheet and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Bake for about 30 minutes, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy. Serve with ketchup.

Crispy (No-Fry) Potato Pancake Poppers image

These might only be half as tall as Tater Tots®, but personally I think they're twice as good! With just a handful of ingredients and no messy stovetop frying, get ready to enjoy these crispy, caramelized potato pancake poppers. Pipe sour cream on top and sprinkle with chives to serve, or arrange on a platter and serve alongside an amazing dip, like a garlicky pesto aioli. They also make for truly fantastic breakfast potatoes to serve with bacon and eggs.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 large russet potatoes, peeled
½ tablespoon garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
½ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Very generously brush melted butter into the bottom and sides of 24 mini muffin cups. Place the tin(s) on a baking sheet and set aside until needed.
  • Add cold water to a large bowl until 1/3 full. Grate potatoes into the cold water, then fill the bowl almost to the top with more cold water. Swish the potatoes around with your hands to rinse off the starch, then pour off most of the water and refill with more cold water. Continue this process until the water runs almost clear. Pour potatoes into a colander and let drain for a few minutes.
  • Transfer grated potatoes to a clean kitchen towel. Wrap potatoes in the towel and squeeze over a bowl until no more liquid comes out.
  • Transfer potatoes to a clean bowl and add garlic powder, salt, pepper, cayenne, and olive oil. Sprinkle flour over top, then add Parmigiano-Reggiano. Mix and toss gently with your hands until thoroughly combined and mixture feels damp.
  • Grab potato mixture from the bottom of the bowl to get as much moisture as possible, and fill the prepared muffin cups. It's okay if the mixture comes up above the pan by 1/2 to 1 inch.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until golden brown on top, caramelized on the bottom, and crispy all over, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let sit in the pan for 5 minutes before flipping them over onto the baking sheet.

Tips:

  • For a crispy exterior and fluffy interior, use a combination of mashed potatoes and shredded cheese.

  • Coat the potato poppers in breadcrumbs or panko crumbs for a golden brown and crispy coating.
  • Bake the potato poppers until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
  • Serve the potato poppers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, ketchup, or barbecue sauce.
