Overcoming Kitchen Fears
Hi, I’m Valerie! Not long ago, I used to find cooking pretty overwhelming. I now really enjoy creating healthy recipes that are both easy and fun. One of my favorites is crispy no-fry potato pancake poppers. If I can make them, you can too!
Ingredients You’ll Need
Grab these simple ingredients from your kitchen to make these tasty and healthy potato snacks:
- 2 cups grated potatoes
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup flour (or a gluten-free alternative)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- Optional: cheese, herbs, or even sweet potato for flavor variations!
Step-by-Step Instructions
Want to try making these crispy no-fry potato poppers? Here’s what to do:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (or set your air fryer!).
- In a large bowl, mix grated potatoes, egg, flour, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and form small patties.
- Place the patties on a greased baking sheet or air fryer basket.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy!
To get them extra crispy, drain the grated potatoes well and leave some space between each patty on the baking sheet.
Serving Suggestion
Serve these crispy poppers warm with your favorite dip!
- Savory option: try Greek yogurt mixed with lemon juice, garlic powder, and dill for a tangy protein-packed dip.
- Sweet option: pair with unsweetened applesauce for a cozy, traditional twist reminiscent of classic latkes.
These pair perfectly as a light snack, appetizer, or side for brunch.
