Ingredients
  

For the Potato Snacks:
  • 3 large potatoes 900 g / 31.74 oz
  • Salt to taste
  • 7 tablespoons potato starch
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon marjoram
  • Sunflower oil for frying
For the Garlic Cheese Sauce:
  • 25 g 0.88 oz butter
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon flour
  • 100 ml 3.4 fl. oz milk
  • 4 slices cheese

Method
 

Prepare the Potato Mixture:
  1. Peel and grate the potatoes into a bowl. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
  2. Season with salt, paprika, and marjoram. Add potato starch and mix until combined.
Shape and Fry the Potato Snacks:
  1. Heat sunflower oil in a pan over medium heat.
  2. Shape the potato mixture into small, flat rounds or desired snack shapes.
  3. Fry until golden and crispy on both sides, about 3–4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Make the Garlic Cheese Sauce:
  1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  2. Stir in the flour, then slowly pour in the milk, whisking continuously until smooth.
  3. Add cheese slices and stir until fully melted and creamy.
Serve and Enjoy:
  1. Arrange the crispy potato snacks on a plate and drizzle with the garlic cheese sauce.
  2. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • To make them extra crispy, chill the shaped potato mixture before frying.
  • If baking instead of frying, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • The garlic cheese sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated when ready to serve.
