  • Total Time: 27-30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional for extra flavor)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray
  • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and grate the potatoes, then squeeze out excess moisture with a clean towel.
  2. In a large bowl, combine grated potatoes, shredded cheese, flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
  3. Form the mixture into small balls or patties about 1.5 inches in diameter.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Spray the puffs lightly with olive oil or cooking spray.
  5. Place the puffs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch.
  6. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Notes

  • Ensure excess moisture is squeezed out from the potatoes for crispy puffs.
  • For extra crispiness, spray with more oil and avoid overcrowding the basket.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat in the air fryer at 375°F for 3-5 minutes until crispy again.
