Description

Crispy and flavorful potato bites reminiscent of Taco Bell’s popular snack, perfect for gatherings and parties.


Ingredients

  • 5 lbs golden potatoes
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 3 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper


Instructions

  1. Wash and peel the potatoes (if desired) and cut them into evenly-sized cubes.
  2. Preheat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
  4. Toss the potato cubes in the dry mixture until fully coated.
  5. Carefully place the coated potato bites into the hot oil, ensuring they do not overcrowd the pan.
  6. Fry the potato bites for roughly 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove the bites from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade version of Taco Bell’s potato bites!

Notes

For additional flavor, consider adding garlic powder or onion powder to the dry mixture.
