Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • for garnish chopped parsley

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel and cube the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook for about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool for a few minutes, then mash them in a large bowl, leaving some small chunks.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  5. Form the mixture into small balls or patties, about 1-2 inches in diameter.
Cooking
  1. Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the potato pops for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  2. Alternatively, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), place the potato pops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Serving
  1. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
