Ingredients
-
2 russet potatoes (about 1 pound total), scrubbed
-
2 tablespoons mochiko (sweet rice flour)
-
1 tablespoon potato starch
-
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ teaspoon ground pepper
-
3 cups canola oil for frying
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
Chopped fresh chives for garnish
-
Paprika for garnish
Directions
-
Prick potatoes all over with a fork and place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on High, flipping once, until tender and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes.
-
Remove the skin from the potatoes; finely chop the skin and transfer to a large bowl. Mash the potato flesh using a potato masher (or press through a ricer); add to the bowl. Stir in mochiko, potato starch,garlic powder and pepper; knead the mixture until a dough forms.
-
Add enough oil to equal a depth of 1 inch in a Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot. Heat over medium heat to 350°F. (Alternatively, see air-fryer instructions, below.)
-
Meanwhile, shape the dough into a 1 1/2-inch wide log and cut into 3/4-inch pieces (about 20 pieces). Press a fork into each piece to create a crosshatch pattern. Add about one-third of the potatoes to the oil; cook, flipping often, until golden-brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate; sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the remaining 2 batches of potato pieces.
-
Transfer the potatoes to a serving plate. Sprinkle with chives and paprika, if desired.
Equipment
Deep-fry or candy thermometer
Air-Fryer Instructions
Prepare as directed through Step 2. Preheat air fryer to 375°F for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, shape the dough into a 1 1/2-inch wide log and cut into 3/4-inch pieces. Lightly coat the air-fryer basket with cooking spray. Add half of the potato pieces to the basket; cook, flipping once, until golden-brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate; sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the remaining potatoes. Continue with Step 5.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
