Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium potatoes (435g, peeled and diced)
  • 2 Tbsp (36g) minced garlic
  • 2 Tbsp (20g) unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp (3g) salt
  • 4 Tbsp (40g) all-purpose flour
  • 100 ml water
  • 4 Tbsp (40g) cornstarch
  • 50g chopped green onions

For Frying:

  • Cooking oil (enough for deep frying)

Instructions
 

Step 1: Cook & Mash the Potatoes

  • Peel and dice the potatoes.
  • Microwave for 7 minutes (700W) or steam until fork-tender.
  • Mash finely and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Garlic Sauce

  • In a pan, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  • Pour in water and salt.
  • Stir in all-purpose flour and mix until smooth.
  • Turn off the heat and add mashed potatoes. Mix well.
  • Let the mixture cool completely.

Step 3: Finish the Dough

  • Add chopped green onion and cornstarch to the cooled mixture.
  • Knead until evenly combined.
  • Roll out the dough to 0.5 cm thickness.

Step 4: Shape the Rings

  • Use a large round cutter (6 cm) to cut circles.
  • Use a smaller cutter (3.5 cm) to cut out the centers.
  • Collect scraps, re-roll, and repeat.

Step 5: Fry the Potato Rings

  • Heat oil to 170–180°C (340–355°F).
  • Fry in batches, flipping occasionally, until golden and crisp.
  • Remove and drain on paper towels.

Notes

💡 Tips & Storage

  • No cutter? Shape by hand or use cookie cutters.
  • Make ahead: Store uncooked rings in the freezer. Fry directly from frozen.
  • To reheat: Bake soggy leftovers in a 160°C (320°F) oven for 7–10 minutes to restore crispiness.
  • Avoid using oven or air fryer alone for first-time cooking—texture will differ.
