Herb-Infused Fried Potato Bites

4. Coat the Potato Bites

1. Prepare a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs mixed with smoked paprika.
2. Roll each potato bite in the flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure an even coating for optimal crispiness.

5. Fry the Potato Bites

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
2. Carefully drop the coated potato bites into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
3. Fry for 2–3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bites and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

6. Serve and Enjoy

1. Arrange the herb-infused fried potato bites on a serving platter. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
2. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauces for an irresistible snack or appetizer.

Tips for Perfect Herb-Infused Fried Potato Bites

• Choose the Right Potatoes: Starchy potatoes like russets work best as they create a fluffy texture.
• Customize the Herbs: Feel free to experiment with different herb combinations, such as rosemary, basil, or tarragon, for a unique flavor profile.
• Make Ahead: Prepare the potato bites ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator or freezer. Fry them just before serving for maximum freshness.
