Crispy Cheese Potato Squares

Ingredients :

• 3 potatoes
• 4 tablespoons cornstarch
• 100 grams mozzarella cheese, grated
• Parsley, chopped
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Olive oil
• Optional Dipping Sauce:
• 3 tablespoons sour cream
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise

How To Make Crispy Cheese Potato Squares :

1. Peel the potatoes and grate them using a coarse grater.
2. Place the grated potatoes in a bowl of cold water for a few minutes to remove excess starch. Then drain and squeeze out any excess water using a clean kitchen towel.

Mixing Ingredients:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, cornstarch, grated mozzarella cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
2. Now, heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Take small portions of the potato mixture and flatten them into squares or patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

Frying:

1. Carefully place the potato squares into the hot oil. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
2. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
3. Remove the fried potato squares from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Optional Sauce:

1. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and mayonnaise until well combined.
2. Serve the crispy cheese potato squares hot with the optional sauce on the side for dipping or with dipping sauces of your choice.
