Crispy Potato Squares

⬛ Step 4: Shape the Potato Squares

Line a tray or dish with parchment paper. Spread the potato mixture evenly, about 1–2 cm thick.

• Smooth the surface with a spatula.
• Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours (or until firm).

Once chilled:

• Cut into neat squares or rectangles.

🍳 Step 5: Cook Until Crispy

Option 1: Frying (Best Crisp)

• Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
• Fry the squares until golden brown on both sides (about 3–4 minutes per side).

Option 2: Baking (Healthier)

• Preheat oven to 200°C (392°F).
• Brush squares lightly with oil.
• Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Option 3: Air Fryer

• Cook at 190°C (375°F) for about 15–20 minutes.
• Flip halfway for even crisping.

✨ Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Serve hot with your favorite dips:

• Ketchup
• Garlic aioli
• Sour cream
• Spicy mayo

You can also sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley or add grated cheese on top for extra flavor.

💡 Tips for Perfect Potato Squares

• Use starchy potatoes for the best texture.
• Chill the mixture well — it makes cutting and frying easier.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying; this keeps them crispy.
• Add cheese or chopped herbs inside the mixture for variation.
