Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Potato Mixture:
- Mash the boiled potatoes in a bowl until smooth.
- Season with salt and black pepper.
- Add cornstarch and olive oil, mixing until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency.
- Stir in chopped parsley if using.
Shape and Cook the Potato Cakes:
- Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into round, flat cakes.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with a small amount of oil.
- Cook the potato cakes for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Prepare the Garlic Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix sour cream, minced garlic, paprika, soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, and mayonnaise.
- Stir well until smooth.
- Add fresh dill for extra flavor if desired.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the crispy potato cakes warm with the garlic sauce on the side for dipping.
- Garnish with extra parsley or dill for a fresh touch.
Notes
- For an extra crispy texture, chill the potato mixture before shaping and frying.
- To bake instead of frying, place on a parchment-lined tray and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat in the oven for best results.
