Potato popcorn is a delicious snack that is super crispy on the outside and very tender on the inside. It can be enjoyed either as an appetizer or a teatime snack.

Beloved by kids and adults alike, this snack is very quick and easy to make—and you probably already have all of the necessary ingredients in your kitchen.

Cook Time

Ingredients

• 2 medium potatoes
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 2 tablespoons corn starch
• Oil, for frying
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Parsley (optional)

Instructions

1. Peel and dice the potatoes.
2. Immerse the diced potatoes in water for 2 minutes in order to remove the starch. Wash them several times with cold water.
3. In a pan over medium heat, add fresh water and diced potatoes. Bring it to the boil and add 2 tablespoon salt. Stir gently.
4. Boil for 5 minutes. Boiling helps to achieve a soft texture for the potatoes.
5. After 5 minutes, drain the boiling water and rinse the potatoes with cold water in order to stop the cooking.
6. Place the potatoes on a paper towel and remove the excess moisture.
7. Place the corn starch on a plate. Coat the potatoes with corn starch to make them crispy.
8. In a pan, add some cooking oil and heat it over low to medium flame. Fry the potatoes until they have turned golden-brown.
9. Transfer the cooked potatoes to a paper towel to remove excess oil.
10. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. You can also add some parsley if desired. Bon appetit.

Your title made me curious as it mentioned potatoes and popcorn. I was waiting to see how popcorn would be an ingredient. Ha! These potato nuggets would taste good.
