A little about this dish

A delightful break from predictability, this recipe takes the quintessential American ingredient, the potato, and reinvents it in a refreshing, ‘gram-worthy, and, above all, delicious way. It pays homage to America's love for the fiery combination of Buffalo chicken - but with a vegetarian twist.

Ingredients (for 4)

Potatoes — 4 medium — boiled and mashed
Blue cheese — 3/4 cup — crumbled
Garlic — 2 cloves — minced
Fresh parsley — 1/4 cup — chopped
Buffalo sauce — 3/4 cup — divided
Panko breadcrumbs — 1 cup
Eggs — 2 — beaten
Salt — — to taste
Pepper — — to taste
Olive oil — — enough for shallow frying

Preparation

Step 1 — 🥔🧀🧂

Mix the mashed potatoes, blue cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and half the buffalo sauce in a bowl. Remember to season with salt and pepper to your taste.
Step 2 — 🥔⚽

Shape the potato mixture into the size of golf balls.
Step 3 — 🥚🍞

Dunk each potato sphere first into the beaten eggs, then thoroughly coat with Panko breadcrumbs.
Step 4 — 🍳🔥

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the potato spheres and fry until they reach a golden brown color and crispy texture on all sides.
Step 5 — 🌶️🧀🌿

Top off the fried potato poppers with the remaining buffalo sauce. You can also garnish with additional blue cheese crumbles and fresh parsley. Serve while hot and enjoy!

A final fox tip

An unexpected twist on American flavors, these Buffalo Potato Poppers are vegetarian friendly. If you prefer a non-vegetarian option, add some shredded chicken to the mix. Also, kids can help roll the potato spheres and dip them in the egg and breadcrumbs - just keep them safe from the frying part. Enjoy the burst of flavours!
