Salt and Pepper Potato Rolls
Summary:
This is a crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside vegan snack, where seasoned mashed potatoes are rolled, fried to golden perfection, and sprinkled with salt and pepper for an aromatic and flavorful bite.
Ingredients:
Potatoes 2 (about 300g, peeled and chopped)
Glutinous rice flour 50g (for extra stickiness)
Cornstarch 20g (for crispiness)
Salt 1/2 teaspoon
White pepper powder 1/2 teaspoon
Salt and pepper seasoning 1 teaspoon
Red chili powder 1/2 teaspoon (optional)
Vegetable oil as needed (for frying)
Instructions:
1. Boil the Potatoes:
Peel and chop the potatoes, then boil them in water for about 15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain well.
2. Mash the Potatoes:
Place the boiled potatoes in a bowl and mash them into a smooth paste using a fork or potato masher.
3. Prepare the Dough:
Add glutinous rice flour, cornstarch, salt, and white pepper powder to the mashed potatoes, mixing well to form a smooth dough.
4. Shape the Rolls:
Take a portion of the dough, roll it into a long strip, then gently shape it into a roll and press it to set.
5. Fry the Potato Rolls:
Heat vegetable oil in a pan to about 170°C. Fry the potato rolls over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and drain excess oil.
6. Season with Salt and Pepper:
While still hot, sprinkle the fried potato rolls with salt and pepper seasoning and red chili powder (optional). Toss gently to coat evenly.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
Transfer to a plate and serve immediately. The crispy exterior and fluffy interior make it a delicious vegan snack or side dish.
